SPONSOR A SCHOOL
Transform an entire community with the gift of an Early Childhood Development Centre. More than 2,000 students are enrolled each year in IREAD schools, where they receive a quality education, nutritious meals and school supplies – the building blocks for generational change.

School sponsorships cover the cost of construction and labour, fixtures and furniture, start-up teaching supplies, and initial teacher training. Land, general labour and local materials such as sand and gravel for construction are donated by the community.

School sponsorship also includes naming rights to the school. Sponsors are encouraged to attend inaugurations to celebrate the community and experience the impact of their gift first-hand.

PUBLICLY TRADED SECURITIES
Donating securities is the most tax-effective way to give, benefitting you with both a tax break and a tax receipt. We gladly accept gifts of stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and other securities.
My wife and I have worked with IREAD following our sponsorship of two new ECD schools in the remote areas of Northern Pakistan. It has been a pleasure to deal with the management of IREAD. The entire operation is run extremely efficiently,with particular attention to careful planning and the completion of the projects on time and on budget,in the face of numerous challenges. We wish IREAD success in their endeavours.
