From 1 to 31 July 2025, for every 10 people that read for 15 minutes, one book or equivalent will be donated to our beneficiaries, up to the total number of books raised from our donors. Whether you are reading alone or gathering a group for a collective reading session, every submitted bit of reading time contributes towards more books for the less privileged.
Let's read and do good together! Join Read for Books today!
