Nameera loves reading, and teaching others to read

Nameera
Dear Neela, Beata, Divakar, Simryn, Sanjay, Murali, Nidhi, Vineeta, and Tina,

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

Thirteen year old Nameera lives in a slum community in Mumbai, and studies in grade 8 at a local school. She has two brothers, and is often required to baby sit the younger one. Nameera comes from a fairly conservative family, but her parents are determined to give her a good education, which is why they send her to the Read India Library Program. Nameera is a studious child, and nothing can distract her when she is reading a book. She is also the class monitor, and part of her responsibilities involve helping the younger children with their reading- a duty that she enjoys performing. Nameera loves English, specially English literature, and she wants to become a doctor when she grows up.

Your donations will ensure that Nameera 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‘.
