2% of our profits fund girls' education in Pakistan.
We give that 2% to The Citizens Foundation, one of the largest privately run networks of schools in the developing world. It is not rounding error or a once-a-year gesture. It is set aside from the moment you check out, on every single book.
Why this matters to us
Education is the lever that moves everything else
A girl who finishes school marries later, earns more, and is far more likely to send her own children to learn. One classroom seat does not change one life. It changes a family, and the families after it.
The gap is widest exactly where we can help
In the communities TCF serves, girls are often the first to be pulled out of school when money is tight. Funding her education removes the reason a family has to choose. The seat is simply there, and it is hers.
We would rather build this in from day one
Giving is not a campaign we bolt on at year-end. It is wired into the price of every book, which means it scales the moment you do. The more stories you keep, the more get written.
Why The Citizens Foundation
We wanted a partner who treats a donation as a desk filled, not a number in a report. TCF runs purpose-built schools in the neighbourhoods that need them most, keeps a deliberate balance of girls and boys in every classroom, and is independently audited so we can point to exactly where the money lands.
That accountability matters to us. When we say your book paid for a year of school, we want it to be literally true.
Why we want you in it
You do not have to do anything extra. There is no checkbox, no upsell, no add-a-dollar at the till. You make the book you came to make, and the contribution is already inside it. We did it this way on purpose: giving should be the default, not a favour we ask of you.
But we still wanted you to know. Because the moment you keep matters more when it helps write someone else's. Your book tells your story. Hers helps write the next one.
