Breaking the Chain is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt non-profit corporation created to help eliminate the bonds of illiteracy and poverty for children through education.

Over 120 million children around the world between the ages of six and fourteen are denied access to basic education. Nearly 800 million adults around the world do not know how to read or write. Almost 3 billion people live in extreme poverty. There is a direct correlation between illiteracy and poverty.

We seek to increase literacy by promoting education through various means; providing books to high-need, low-literacy schools, building schools, and literacy centers. We seek to empower children so they can lead independent, healthy lives.
