Saloni loves the activities in her balwadi

Saloni
Dear Joseph and Chandana, Amit, Bakul, Mamta, and Devi,

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

Three year old Saloni lives in a slum community in Mumbai. She has one sister and a brother. Her father sells vegetables in the local market, and her mother is a housewife. She (and her sister, Shalini) 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 two more years, after which she will be enrolled in a formal school. Of all the activities, Saloni loves beading the most. Her favorite color is red, and she always picks the red beads to string.

Your donations will ensure that Saloni and 34 other children like her are enrolled in Pratham’s 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’.
