Read at Home Program
Our Read at Home Program was established in April 2020 in response to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The program supports children of all ages in priority locations in their home environment. Each child receives a book or books to keep and read at home.
The aim of this program is to support children who have limited or no access to school facilities, local libraries or have few or no books of their own. Every dollar raised is doubled in RRP of books, so a $10 donation will purchase at least one book for a child to keep and read at home.
As well as providing books through priority schools, we partnered with a number of different organisations including the Pyjama Foundation, Ardoch, and the Alannah and Madeline Foundation.
“The books we have received…are all so fabulous that I want to read them all myself! We get so excited, the children are going to love them. This makes our program very attractive for the children and we are very grateful to receive such a huge delivery of high quality books.” Founder and Executive Manager, The Pyjama Foundation, April 2020.
