How a read-a-thon raises funds for literacy in Cambodia

The Chapters for Change reading challenge strives to strengthen education and community development.
The image combines two photos: on the left is a female-presenting person wearing a butter-yellow blazer and black glasses stands smiling in front of a bookcase. On the right, a male presenting person wearing a graphic T-shirt and a beige blazer smiles at the camera; he is standing in front of a different bookcase.

Chapters for Change is a month-long read-a-thon that raises funds for educational programs in Cambodia. This year, Chapters for Change aims to raise $40,000 for Cambodia’s Human and Hope Association (HHA), an organisation focused on alleviating poverty by empowering local communities through grassroots projects focused on education, vocational training and community development.

Funds raised will help support the maintenance of HHA’s community centre library and the development of its preschool and literacy programs. Last year’s read-a-thon raised over $30,000 for HHA.
