Nepal has an overall literacy of approximately 49%, with the female literacy rate hovering around 35%. Many schools are without sufficient books for students or resource materials for teachers. Additionally, there is no tradition of lending libraries in the country, and no budget allocated for libraries.
Mobilized by the belief that lack of education is the root cause of poverty and political instability, READ designs its facilities to bring educational resources and a learning environment to Nepalis of all ages. Forty-two library community centers by 2007, each with 3,000 – 5,000 books in Nepali, a children’s section with educational toys, women’s section, computer, internet and audio-visual centers, cultural section and meeting hall are hallmarks of READ Nepal’s educational prowess. |
