Even before learing to read, Zoya’s developed an interest in books

Zoya
Dear Renu, Vasudevan, Dipak, Rohan, Lara, and Maya,

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

Four year old Zoya lives in a slum community in Mumbai, and has been enrolled in kindergarten at a local school. Her father is a driver and she is an only child. Though she is too young to read, Pratham believes that she is not too young to develop a love for books, which is why they encouraged her parents to enroll her in the Read India Library Program. Zoya loves flipping through picture books, and enjoys having her teacher read out stories to her. She is impatient to start reading herself, so she can read all the books available in the Library.

Your donations will ensure that Zoya 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‘.
