SPREAD International (Society for the Promotion of Rural Education and Development International) aims to provide under-privileged children across the globe with an opportunity to gain access to the lifelong gift of education. We believe that education is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty, which allows children to take active control of their lives and create better and more meaningful futures.

SPREAD International's approach to combating illiteracy is to create an overall healthy, supportive environment in which at-risk children in rural villages in the developing world can successfully rural youth entails the long-term establishment of schools, hostels, study centers in remote and tribal Our commitment to the improvement of literacy focuses on the intertwined relationship between structural and social impediments that hinder students. Aside from simply providing the physical space in which students study and learn, we believe in instilling familial motivation for learning, and encourage parents and other members of the family to support the growth of their children in a nurturing environment that provides proper health care, nutrition, and overall physical and emotional well-being.

Our primary intervention is by setting up hostels to educate and take care of orphans and children from backward caste/tribal that have been forced into labor. Given our process we are able to effectively educate our children quite efficiently at a nominal cost of $ 350 per child for one year. Please click here for more details.

Other interventions include setting up rural hamlet education centers, study center, providing resources to support rural school infrastructure and provide scholarships.

Ventured into rural development activities with modest and limited resources. Our success is undoubtedly due to the pioneering efforts of volunteers and other local organizations that are endlessly working to ensure educational objectives for impoverished children are effectively met. In order to continue this work, however, we rely upon contributions from foundations and private donors. Your donations will impact the lives of many children who lack the basic necessities to combat poverty.

We value your donations and believe in efficiency and transparency. Ninety six cents of every dollar donated goes directly to the operations we support. We are extremely lean in our operations and the cost to take care of one child is $ 350/yr including food, health care, uniforms, shelter and educational supplements.
