Au Bangladesh, il est encore trop rare de voir les adolescentes sur le chemin de l'école: 40% des filles abandonnent l'école avant de terminer leurs études secondaires (entre 11 et 18 ans). Le chiffre explose dans les communautés rurales comme celle de Punyma. Depuis ses 12 ans, la jeune fille est suivie par une mentor de l'organisation internationale Room to Read Bangladesh, qui soutient l'éducation de près de 7.000 filles dans le pays.Récompensée du Prix Unesco 2022 pour l'éducation des filles et des femmes, l'organisation a lancé ses opérations au Bangladesh en 2009, notamment dans le district de Natore, où le taux d'alphabétisation est particulièrement faible. Son objectif: faire en sorte que les filles qui suivent le programme terminent à tout prix leurs études secondaires, explique Ruksana Sultana, responsable de programme Room To Read au Bangladesh.Dans ce cinquième épisode du Chemin des écolières, vous entendrez aussi la mère de Punyma, sa mentor Nure Nasrin, ainsi qu'une autre bénéficiaire du programme, Khadiza.Le Chemin des écolières est un podcast Slate Podcasts, dont une version écrite accompagnée de photographies réalisées par Robin Tutenges est disponible sur le site de Slate.fr.L'ensemble de ce projet a reçu le financement du Centre européen du journalisme, par l'intermédiaire de l'accélérateur de journalisme de solutions. Ce financement est soutenu par la Fondation Bill & Melinda Gates.Direction éditoriale: Christophe CarronProduction éditoriale, écriture et présentation: Nina ParejaReportages, interviews et prise de son: Robin TutengesMontage et réalisation: Aurélie Rodrigues

Join host Colbert Cannon for a conversation with Geetha Murali, the CEO of Room to Read, a global non-profit organization that focuses on working in collaboration with local communities, partner organizations and governments to improve literacy and gender equality in education. Geetha shares how she's used her biostatistics background to help grow the organization's reach to now serve 32 million children across 21 countries. She discusses how the global pandemic pushed her team to find new ways of reaching communities both online and offline amid shutdowns that cut off their primary channel of distribution - schools. She also delves into how the binary between for-profit and nonprofit organizations is becoming a thing of the past with the increase in impact investing and ESG frameworks across the board.Learn more about Geetha Murali's tenure at Room to Read here.

In this episode, Pamela Cook takes us through the process behind writing her novel All We Dream. We talked about the differences between traditional and independent publishing and Pam gave some fabulous tips on things like cover design and advertising and marketing. Pam also, very generously, ran through some of the before and after changes to the novel between its two editions and how those changes improved the novel. I was also really keen to talk to Pam about two writing craft aspects she is really knowledgeable about and actually teaches to other writers - how to write in deep point of view and how to, as she calls it, turn up the tension in your writing to keep your readers turning the page. We also discussed the importance of visiting the place you're writing about if possible and how she works with her agent.You'll find links to buy both paperback and ebook versions of All We Dream here.ABOUT PAMELA COOKPamela Cook is an author, podcaster, writing teacher and mentor. Her best-selling debut novel Blackwattle Lake (2012) was published by Hachette Australia in 2012 followed by three rural fiction titles.

Her writing is imbued with a deep love of the natural world and its power to heal. Producing and hosting Writes4Women, a weekly podcast that supports women writers and celebrates women's writing, is one of Pamela's not-so-guilty pleasures.

Today I am chatting with Vikas Garg, who is the Founder & CEO of abillion, a rapidly growing global internet platform on a mission to help a billion people live plant-based by 2030. Abillion aims to change the way people eat and consume whether it be food or fashion or material objects in their lives. Their app not only helps people find plant-based food but also makes a real difference in the availability of that food, as abillion also seeks to encourage restaurants and hotels to become more plant-based. Think: TripAdvisor meets Instagram but for vegans and vegetarians. In 2017, Vikas left his high-flying corporate career at one of the world's largest hedgefunds to pursue this venture as he felt he could do more for society and realised that the world did not need another fund manager, but it needed people to solve interesting problems — and he has not looked back since. Abillion is one of the most well-funded start ups in the Asia Impact scene, closing a pre-Series-A $3 million round in 2020 and attracting high-profile investors like Room To Read's John Wood. Vikas has received Credit Suisse's Global Citizenship Award, is a Young Leader of the Milken Institute, and a Charter Member of The IndUS Entrepreneurs. By the end of this interview, you will gain insight into how to think like a non-profit, you will have an understanding of how to build a sustainable business with a socially-driven mission, and you will feel that you too can build a business that will leave a truly positive mark on the world. In this episode, you will learn about: Why the future is plant-based How to use consumer data for good The power of a mission in driving company growth How to create a sustainable financial model as a social entrepreneur How to pitch your business to investors (and succeed) The Dalai Lama's trick to help you be happier throughout your day And so much more...

Step #1, the hard skills, the tools of the trade. Step #2, the soft skills, the things you can apply in any context or situation. For Geetha, her hard skills are mathematical fluency and her soft skills are around relationship building. What's your 1-2 step that gives you your secret sauce? Maybe you're the kind of person whose hard skill is that you can write incredibly well and your soft skill is you're great at reading people. So your secret sauce combines those things and ... you're an incredible writer! Or maybe it's a two-step of being an unbelievable co-writer and being incredibly patient. And those combine to make you an unbelievable technical teammate. Whatever your two step and your secret sauce are, write them down and think about what kinds of things you could go do with that combo that's unique to you. I bet you're already doing some unbelievable things as a result, but maybe there's some untapped magic that this exercise can help you unlock in your quest to become an ever better builder.

CFOTL: What are your priorities as a finance leader over the next 12 months? Freedman: Here at Room to Read, we've just launched our 2020–2025 strategic plan, of which one of the core parts is the continued build of our financial sustainability. I'm super excited and proud that we are launching a five-year, $10 million initiative—we're calling it a Future Fund—to which we're asking our donors to contribute. In addition to funding our day-to-day programs, we're looking to build out funds that will be unrestricted and allow us to get to six months' operating expense coverage, which is best-in-class. This would allow the organization to really build out its operational reserves to give us the wherewithal to weather ups and downs in the financial markets as well as to take some small risks with innovation to try some things out, test some things—to learn quickly and, if necessary, to fail quickly, as our board says—and to then adapt. Having those extra months of operating coverage will really make a difference for us. My own organization has a leadership role in this, in partnership with the development team. We'll be talking to donors and working with all sorts of organizations to describe the need for having that kind of operating expense coverage to give us real sustainability for our future.

Nicole is the Volunteer Chapter Leader for the New Jersey Room-To-Read chapter. Nicole loves to connect people to causes they care about. She believes giving back feels good, it improves your health, happiness and well being and it infuses you with energy. As you will hear, Nicole is the poster child for volunteerism fueling her energy. Nicole is on a mission to educate girls internationally and I can't wait for you to hear the stories about what happens when you teach a girl to read. Nicole has been a volunteer in some capacity most of her life, a value instilled in her by her parents and a value she shares with her children and anyone who will listen. I'm excited to bring you Nicole because I believe people at their heart want to help others and in our sensitive environment now, I think it's important to help each other. Nicole walks us through how she got started volunteering with Room to Read. And she tells us the compelling story of what role literacy has played in her life. Of course we touch on self care and how Nicole balances philanthropy and being a mom to 5 kids. Listen until the end and I'll tell you more about how you can support Room to Read and a special event happening this fall with Nicole, my previous guest Kara Richardson Whitely, and myself and how you can get involved. Let's Figure It Out with Nicole Smith. _________ Many thanks to Nicole and I hope you're inspired to lend your super powers to the right charity for you. Mark your calendar for October 9th when Nicole will be hosting the second annual New Jersey Room To Read International Day of the Girl Fundraiser. Kara Richardson Whitely, my previous guest, and I will be there and we hope to see you. Check out the Room To Read website and stay tuned for details and how you can attend.

As a former Chapter Leader for Room to Read, Adriane Herrick Juarez saw firsthand the important impact that Room to Read has had developing 20,000 libraries and literacy-partnerships around the world and positively affecting the lives of over 11.6 million children through primary school literacy programs and secondary school girls’ education efforts. In this interview with Dr. Geetha Murali, new CEO of Room to Read as of January 2018, we take a global look at Room to Read’s model of deep, systemic transformation in low-income countries as they implement their vision that states, “World Change Starts with Educated Children.” Through Geetha’s insights, we gain knowledge about what it takes to optimize organizational reach and impact with a laser-focus on an organization’s technical portfolio. This includes investing in proven solutions that address challenges for the long-term – while collaborating with communities, partners, and governments – something that all libraries must do. Come with us on an inspiring world-journey as we learn how to formulate and communicate strong, measurable results – moving beyond passion with hard work and best practices to create transformative change.

Guest: John Wood John Wood left a career at Microsoft to start the charitable organization Room To Read. Eleven years later, he and the organization are going strong. Host: Charlie Bennett Photo: cover of Creating Room to Read: A Story of Hope in the Battle for Global Literacy (Viking Adult; February 7, 2013)
Leora Langs is here to discuss Room to Read, a global organization seeking to transform the lives of millions of children in the developing world by focusing on literacy and gender equality in education. Founded on the belief that World Change Starts with Educated Children, Room to Read works in collaboration with local communities, partner organizations and governments to develop literacy skills and a habit of reading among primary school children and to ensure girls have the skills and support needed to complete their secondary education. Since 2000, Room to Read has impacted the lives of more than ten million children in Asia and Africa and aims to reach 15 million children by 2020.
In Creating Room to Read: A Story of Hope in the Battle for Global Literacy (Viking Press, 2013), John Wood presents this big idea: you can change the world if want to. The nice thing about John’s book is that he doesn’t tell you the “theory” of world-changing (though he does discuss “social entrepreneurship”), he tells you how he did using his own experience. John saw that a lot of people around the world couldn’t read and created an organization to teach them. This involved building a dedicated team, fund-raising, finding out what his clients–illiterate, impoverished children–wanted, and giving it to them in a flexible way. John’s “Room to Read” has built thousands of libraries around the world and taught hundred of thousands of children to read. That’s something. Learn more about your ad choices.

After a trek in the Himalayas brought him face-to-face with extreme poverty and illiteracy John Wood left his position as a director of business development at Microsoft to found Room to Read an award-winning international education organization. Under his leadership more than 1.7 million children in the developing world now have access to enhanced educational opportunities. Room to Read to date has opened 725 schools and 7 000 bilingual libraries and funded more than 7 000 scholarships for girls. Wood talked with Knowledge at Wharton about the launch of Room to Read the book he wrote called Leaving Microsoft to Change the World and his personal definition of success.

Welcome to episode #68 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. Two big questions came out of this episode and I really need your help in starting the conversation. The first one is about how prepared us Marketers are for creating content and advertising for all of these new devices that are coming out on to the market - from the new Apple iTouch iPod to the N Series from Nokia. It's a new game and I'm not sure how prepared we all are. Second question revolved around RFPs for Digital Marketing agencies. Do you think when a Request For Proposal is made that both the client and the agency are well-educated enough to make the right choice, or is there an underlying knowledge to Digital Marketing that is hard to bring across in this type of process? Lots of big questions - lots of stuff to talk about. Enjoy this conversation... Here it is: Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast - Episode #68 - Host: Mitch Joel. Running time: 53:03.

Welcome to episode #6 of Foreword Thinking - The Business and Motivational Book Review Podcast presented by HarperCollins Canada. John Wood, literally, left Microsoft to change the world. And while it is the title of his best-selling book, Leaving Microsoft to Change The World, it is just one of the many components of his hugely successful not-for-profit organization called, Room To Read. John and his volunteers are breaking the cycle of poverty by creating libraries and schools throughout rural and poor communities in Asia, Africa, and soon in Latin America. It's an inspiring story that I hope will get you thinking about what you can do to make a change in the world.
