Community Reading Clubs
After-school reading clubs that give children regular, relaxed time with books and an encouraging adult.
Education
Widening access to learning and skill-building, so that people of every age can grow, build confidence and shape their own future.
Why this matters
Education builds knowledge, skills and confidence that last a lifetime. It is one of the strongest foundations for sustainable growth and lasting change.
Yet access to learning is still uneven. Through this program area, Rising Beyond Borders aims to help vulnerable communities reach the learning opportunities and resources they need to thrive.
What we focus on
- Access to learning for children, young people and adults
- Skill-building that opens pathways to further learning and work
- Learning environments where every learner is welcome
- Connecting learners with resources and opportunities
Featured projects

Books, notebooks and teaching materials for classrooms that have too few — chosen with the teachers who use them.

The change we work towards
- More people able to take part in learning, whatever their circumstances
- Learners with the skills and confidence to take their next step
Stories
- “Learning to read, together” — why confidence comes before fluency
- “When every learner has a book” — what changes when materials stop being the bottleneck
