About the Community

The Financial Times has selected Room to Read, an organisation that helps millions of children gain access to education in developing countries, as its partner for its 2009-2010 seasonal appeal to readers.

The seasonal appeal, taking place from November to mid-January 2010, has raised over £2.3m in the past three years for organisations including Camfed and WaterAid. Chosen in a vote by 1600 FT staff around the world, Room to Read aims to provide over 11,000 communities access to their first library by the end of 2010 and has a long-term goal of reaching 10 million children in the developing world by 2020.

Lionel Barber, editor of the FT, said: “The FT is delighted to be working with Room to Read on this year’s seasonal appeal. We are committed to supporting global learning and literacy and this complements Room to Read’s efforts to provide quality educational opportunities for children in the developing world.”
