It enables children to learn, to discover, to grow, to lead and to foster empathy and understanding of others. Furthermore, Literacy opens doors and enables every child the chance to live their own journey. Their goal is to make sure that no child should grow up without knowing how to read.

            For over 50 years, RIF has built a legacy grounded on the basis that all children have the right to learn to read. In partnership with volunteers, companies, and community organizations, RIF has distributed more than 420 million books and resources and has impacted the lives of 72 million children nationwide.
