Our Vision
To enable critical thinking in all citizens
and ensure universal quality education, especially for all the children of India
Registered in December 2020, Share A Book India Association (SABIA) is committed to building a reading community that is socially and environmentally responsible. We strive to gift the power of imagination and equal opportunity to every child including those with special needs so that everyone can gain perspective and be a productive member of society.
OUR STORY
Share A Book, India started as a campaign to make sure that reading books in school for pleasure isn't considered a luxury but a necessity! We have grown as an organisation with a simple motto in mind to enable each child to read, imagine and grow to her fullest potential. We are determined to revolutionize education through the process of reading, as we believe that it is the only instrument, which can make learning easier for children, improve the quality of education, reduce student dropout rates, as well as fight social evils like child labour, child marriage etc., simultaneously.
