Transforming lives through literacy: Join us in the fight against poverty.
Illiteracy profoundly impacts a child's life, affecting everything from mental health to future career prospects. Studies have shown that children who struggle with reading can develop feelings of anxiety, embarrassment, and even depression, leading to a negative self-concept that can last well into adulthood.
Without immediate intervention, these children are at risk of leaving school without the basic reading and writing skills necessary to lead healthy and fulfilling lives.
But we can change that. Meet Mia*, a young girl born into a family experiencing homelessness. Mia never had access to the resources she needed to develop her literacy skills. That is until ROOP arrives in her community in Corio, Geelong. Through our literacy programs, Mia has been able to develop a love of reading, and improve her reading skills and confidence which allows her to thrive in school and has big dreams for her future.
Our organization has already made a significant impact in the lives of many children in the community. Through our pop-up libraries, read-aloud sessions, after-school programs, and one-on-one tutoring, we have helped children develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills. We have also supported parents and caregivers to foster a love of reading and writing in their children, creating a literacy-rich environment for them.
Your donation to this End of financial year appeal will help Reading Out of Poverty over the next 12 months to provide early literacy resources and support to children aged 0-5 years old from disadvantaged backgrounds. Remember, "Books Change Lives". With your support, ROOP can continue to offer free literacy packs full of books to children and families who may not have access to them otherwise. Your gift has the power to change lives forever, giving children the foundation they need to excel in school and beyond.
We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to lead a healthy and full life, and literacy is a critical step toward achieving that goal. Your donation can make a real difference and help us provide children with the tools they need to succeed. So, what are you waiting for? Give the gift of literacy today and make a difference in the lives of disadvantaged children.
Remember, if you donate before June 30th, you will receive the full tax-deductible benefit in the 2022-23 Financial Year. So, what are you waiting for? Give the gift of literacy today and make a difference in the lives of disadvantaged children.
Donate now, and let's work together to ensure that every child, no matter their circumstances, has access to the literacy support they need to succeed in life by joining us in our mission to eradicate illiteracy and empower young people to reach their full potential.
