MissionRoom to Read (the organization) is an international non-governmental organization that believes that world change starts with educated children. We envision a world in which all children can pursue a quality education that enables them to reach their full potential and contribute to their community and the world. Room to Read seeks to transform the lives of millions of children in developing countries by focusing on literacy and gender equality in education. Working in collaboration with local communities, partner organizations and governments, we develop literacy skills and a habit of reading among primary school children, and support girls to complete secondary school with the relevant life skills to succeed in school and beyond. In 2016, room to read conducted program operations through direct implementation in seven countries in Asia (Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Laos, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Vietnam) and three countries in Africa (South Africa, Zambia, and Tanzania).

Separately, based on these benchmarks and on individual performance reviews, the human resources committee submits recommendations for top management salaries (including the CEO and CFO) to the Board, which are reviewed by the board as part of the annual budget discussion.
