Thank you for ensuring that Ashtuq, and 34 other children like him are enrolled in Pratham’s Read India program for a year.
Nine year old Ashtuq lives in a slum comminity in Mumbai and is a student of grade 5 in a local school. Despite being in secondary school, Ashtuq struggles to read words in Marathi. Pratham recently started a remedial summer camp in his community, and in a few weeks, his teachers are confident that Ashtuq will start reading books fluently. Ashtuq wants to become a police officer when he grow up. He loves playing cricket in his spare time, and is very happy that the team that he supports made it to the finals of the national league.
Your donations will ensure that Ashtuq and 34 other children like him are enrolled in Pratham’s Read India program where they are provided need-based instruction in reading, writing and basic arithmetic to bring them to the literacy levels expected of children their age.
Thank you, for doing your bit to ensure that ‘every child in India is in school and doing well‘.
