Although the problem of illiteracy has been the subject of much debate, recent reports assess that there are approximately 59 million out-of-school children in India alone. Due to socio-economic factors, the enrollment of girls is low and dropout rates for both boys and girls are high. Child labor, emotional and physical abuse, class and caste structures, lack of access to schools and other educational opportunities, and shortage of teaching professionals, contribute to the prevention of literacy in many rural areas across the world. Due to poor economic, social, and political growth, rural areas are not able to provide any alternative educational spaces where literacy practices would enable children to counter the complex forces that prevent achievement and success.

SPREAD INTERNATIONAL stands for Society for the Promotion of Rural Education
And Development International. SPREAD INTERNATIONAL is a tax exempt Non-Profit
Organization under section 501(c)(3) in USA. The Tax-ID is
80-0084590.
SPREAD International aims to provide underprivileged 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.
SPREADInternational hostels serve as a secure and safe home for orphans and homeless children
while they attend school. We provide children with lodging, food, health care, books, toys, clothes,
and even counseling, if needed. We have found that even the simplest improvements in facilities and
health care can measurably improve our students� educational achievement. If you are interested in
this program, please contact us for more information and contribute through the �Support a Student� program.
