Though he still cannot read, Afiyaan loves books

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

Five year old Afiyaan lives in a slum community in Mumbai, and studies in kindergarten at a local school. His family is determined to give him a good education, which is why they have enrolled him in Read India Library Program. Afiyaan doesn’t know his letters, but that doesn’t stop him from reading. There are many picture books in the Library, and he loves browsing through them, and making up his own stories as he goes along. His teacher is confident that in just a short time, he will graduate to more advanced books.

Your donations will ensure that Afiyaan 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‘.
