Dining for Women

READ Global empowers rural communities to alleviate poverty. In South Asia, where 264 million people live on less than $1.90 a day and only 58 percent of women are literate, READ Centers serve as platforms for social and economic transformation, collaborating with rural communities to build community-owned and managed centers and launching for-profit enterprises to sustain the centers’ operations.


READ will enable over 300 Bhutanese rural women to gain valuable financial literacy skills and income generating livelihood skills, plus access to savings programs through advanced training programs at READ Centers.
