Like to Read? Want to Help Those Who Can't Read or Can't Afford Books? Here's How...

Operation Mobilization

I first became aware of this organization while on vacation in England some 20 years ago; they are known for filling up ships with books, and docking them at major ports to distribute literature. But they do much more than that...check them out. (http://omusa.org)

Libraries Without Borders

Doctors Without Borders may get all the attention, but this relatively new organization does something greater than bringing medical aide to third world countries: it brings knowledge. (http://www.librarieswithoutborders.org)

Books for the Barrios is working to "improve the quality of education for underprivileged youth in deprived ­communities around the world with our focus being on deprived, depressed region in the Philippines." (http://booksforthebarrios.org)

Book Aid International

One of the oldest book based charities, Book Aid, started in the 1960s, has given out over 30 million books. (http://www.bookaid.org/)

Room to Read

Founder, John Wood, left Microsoft to start this organization, which brings books and literacy to children across the world. You can read his story in his memoir "Leaving Microsoft to Change the World: An Entrepreneur's Odyssey to Educate the World's Children." (http://www.roomtoread.org/)

NOTE: I am not associated, nor do I endorse, any of these charities; before donating to any charity, it is always advisable to research them and make sure the money is being used responsibly. One of the largest charity watchdog groups has a database here: http://www.charitynavigator.org/
