Zakir, the future doctor

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

Six year old Zakir lives in a slum community in Mumbai, and studies in grade 2 at a local school. He loves attending the Read India Library Program in his community, where he is encouraged to pick up and read books. The volunteer who conducts the classes keeps his interest in learning alive though activities that are designed to draw out children and get them to start thinking. Zakir’s favorite subject is Urdu, and he particularly loves reading all the lovely Urdu books that are there in his library. He wants to become a doctor when he grows up..

Your donations will ensure that Zakir and 34 other children like him 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‘.
