READ-IGNITE
Bringing Children Books and Learning Opportunities
ABOUT US
Launched in 2017, Read-ignite is a Hong Kong-based social initiative, endeavoring to equalize reading resources and opportunities amongst primary and secondary school students. We envision a community where all children regardless of family income can pursue quality education which allows them to reach full potential.
Read-ignite seeks to transform lives of children from underprivileged families by focusing on literacy, critical thinking and confidence building. We partner with local communities, non-profitable organizations and schools to help students develop reading habit, language and analytical skills, as well as confidence to read aloud and perform.
WHAT WE DO
MINI LIBRARIES
We build mini libraries in community centers and homes of the disadvantaged by installing bookshelves and filling it with handpicked quality readers that are appropriate for students aged between 6 and 18.
BOOK GIVEAWAY
Other than purchasing new books, we receive second-hand readers from donors. We hence classify them according to suitability for different ages and provide the selected readers to children and teenagers for free.
READING WORKSHOP
We organize workshops that guides students in reading aloud and delving into the selected books. Workshops are organized regularly so that children can receive further opportunities in improving literacy skills and are completely free of charge.
