Dear Chitra, Gopi, Akil, Ishaana, Mihika, Vineeta, Yash, Anne, Kari, and Susan,

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

Seven year old Nadeem lives in a slum community in Mumbai, and studies in grade 2 at a local school. Though she comes from a conservative Muslim family, her parents are determined to give her the best education that they can manage. Which is why, they are so thankful for the Read India Library Program in her community. Unlike in school, here she is encouraged to ask questions, and her teacher is happy to repeat concepts till Nadeem grasps them. Nadeem’s favorite subject is English, and she loves reading the English language books that are there in her library. She wants to become an engineer when she grows up, and with her determination, she is sure to succeed.

Your donations will ensure that Nadeem and 34 other children like her 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 learning well‘.
