Raven Hydronic Supply Ltd is proud to announce its 2023 fundraising initiative in support of educating children in the developing world.
Raven is again partnering with Room to Read; this year’s project will be in India. India has 266 million people who cannot read, accounting for one-third of the world’s illiterate population. In primary grades, 4.34 percent of children drop out with this number increasing to as high as 17.86 percent by secondary school.
Raven will be funding a year of education for 50 girls in India. Girls who finish secondary school go on to earn more, have smaller and healthier families, and are more likely to educate their children – ending the cycle of poverty.
Our Goal: To raise $20,000 by the end of 2023.
Raven Supply has been a proud supporter of Room to Read since 2013. As always, Raven matches every donation.
Since 2013, we have contributed over $270,000 to Room to Read projects in several countries.
