Changing Lives Through Education
Empowering children in Bangladesh, Pakistan and Uganda with access to literacy and education, fostering brighter futures in alignment with UN Sustainable Development Goal 4.
About Turning Pages Foundation
The Turning Pages Foundation, a dedicated literacy foundation, works to improve global literacy and advocate for the importance of reading. As a nonprofit organisation for education, we focus on empowering children and communities through reading programs for children and targeted literacy initiatives. We align our efforts with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal 4, ensuring inclusive and equitable education for all and supporting education programs where needed most.
While countries like the UK have high literacy rates, many others still face significant challenges. We prioritise countries like Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Uganda, where improving literacy in the community is critical. As a literacy and education nonprofit, we provide the resources and skills to empower people, helping them rewrite their stories and build brighter futures.

Our Projects and Initiatives
At Turning Pages Foundation, a nonprofit organization for education, we are dedicated to genuinely impacting literacy, learning, and educational equity. Our work focuses on creating meaningful, sustainable change by addressing educational needs in the UK and internationally. One of our key projects is the Feed and Read initiative in North London, where we offer books alongside meals at a local soup kitchen, promoting both nourishment and learning. We also support UK schools by revitalising school libraries and providing essential resources like dictionaries and thesauruses.
Internationally, we are building a library in Lahore, Pakistan, to provide underprivileged children with much-needed access to books and learning opportunities. We also extend our efforts to help displaced children, supporting the rebuilding of Samir Mansour’s Bookshop in Gaza, which was destroyed in the conflict. As a children’s reading charity, we are deeply committed to these causes, offering support for education programs and advancing literacy for a brighter, more educated future.

Review from Partners
“We were affected by severe floods and our students were unable to reach us. With the help of Turning Pages Foundation, a boat was sponsored for our school students to commute and continue their education.”
Brac School, Horinapati Bangladesh
“This charity works to get food and books to those who need it most (food for the body and food for the soul). The charity works with the disadvantaged, war torn and those in areas where natural disasters are making life hard. Look them up and find out more. It’s a tiny charity run by a group of loving, positive and hard working women. I’m proud that they asked me to be at their inaugural event.”
