Ayesha is looking forward to starting school

Thank you for ensuring that Ayesha and 34 other children like her get the benefit of Pratham’s Read India program for a year.

Five year old Ayesha lives in a slum community in Mumbai. She has an older sister and a younger brother. Her father is a tailor and her mother is a housewife. She has been attending the “balwadi” class conducted in her community for the past year. The balwadi program caters to pre-schoolers, and prepares them for school. She will remain in the program for another year after which she will be enrolled in a formal school. Ayesha is a shy child, and needs to be coaxed out of her shell, but once she is, you will be rewarded by a delightful smile. She loves attending the balwadi, and according to her teacher is ready to go to a formal school next year.

Your donations will ensure that Ayesha and 34 other children like her are enrolled in Read India’s balwadi program that prepares children for primary school.

Thank you, for doing your bit to ensure that ‘every child in India is in school and learning well’.
