Shalini’s future now looks rosy

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

Four year old Shalini 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, Saloni) 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. Shalini is a bright girl and is one of the first to finish all the activities. She loves coming to the balwadi and tries not to miss a single day.

Your donations will ensure that Shalini 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 leaning well’.
