Room to Read | 2021 Annual Report

Our team in Nepal first launched “Radio School” during the sweeping school closures of 2020, delivering early grade literacy lessons to the homes of young learners across the country over the airwaves. Radio remains the most commonly available and accessed technology across the world, and our radio programming is especially important in historically low-income regions, where children often lack access to internet and television at home. By March of 2021, we had successfully broadcast more than 100 literacy-focused episodes through 20 different radio stations, benefiting more than 302,000 households across Nepal.
