Ali has developed a love for reading

Thank you for coming together to ensure that Ali and 34 other children like him are enrolled in Pratham’s Read India program for a year.

Ten year old Ali lives in a slum community in Mumbai, and studies in grade 4 at a local school. He has four sisters and one brother, and wants to become a doctor when he grows up. Ali loves attending the Read India Library Program, where he is encouraged to pick up whichever books he wants to read. Not only have his reading skills improved, he has developed a love for books and reading. When his nose is buried in a book, nothing can disturb him. He is favorite book is “Jogging to Buy our Boat”.
