Hi, thanks for visiting the TechBikers donation page.

On September 21-23, 40 brave TechBikers (Entreprneneurs, Vcs, techies, etc) will be riding 300km from Paris to London to support children's education and literacy by raising money for an amazing charity, Room to Read. If every child received education, 171 million people would be lifted out of poverty. 

Our goal is to raise £20,000, to build a library for children in Nepal, stocked with books and staffed with a librarian. It will be dedicated from the London tech startup community and make a difference in the life of thousands of children.

Room to Read is an award-winning non-profit organization with its headquarters in San Francisco, California. Founded on the belief that World Change Starts With Educated Children, the organization focuses on improving literacy and gender equality in education in the developing world. Working in collaboration with local communities, partner organizations and governments, Room to Read develops literacy skills and a habit of reading among primary school children, and supports girls to complete secondary school with the relevant life skills to succeed in school and beyond.

We hope you can sponsor us to create a library in the developing world. All donations will be quickly processed and passed to charities. Virgin Money Giving is a not for profit organisation and will claim gift aid on a charity's behalf where the donor is eligible for this. We really appreciate all your support and thank you for any donations.

Thank you for your support!
