Zaid wants to become a software engineer

Thank you for ensuring that Zaid, and 34 other children like him are enrolled in Pratham’s Read India program for a year.

Eleven year old Zaid lives in a slum comminity in Mumbai and is a student of grade 7 in a local school. Despite being in secondary school, Zaid 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 Zaid will start reading books fluently. Zaid loves studying and wants to become a software engineer when he grows up. He is also a keen sportsman and loves playing volleyball in school.

Your donations will ensure that Zaid 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‘.
