Eleven year old Meeta lives in Punjab and spends much of her time at home taking care of her younger brothers and sisters. She studies in grade 4 at the local school, but the quality of education is so poor that she could barely recognize the basic numbers, much less do addition or subtraction.
Within a couple of weeks of being enrolled in Pratham’s Read India program, Meeta has become quite proficient in arithmetic. In fact, she now loves the subject so much, she insists on helping her farmer father with his basic everyday calculations!
Your donation, Naman, would ensure that Meeta, and 19 other children like her are enrolled in Pratham’s Read India program where they continue to be provided with need-based instruction in reading, writing and basic arithmetic to bring them to the literacy levels expected of children their age.
