Little Aziz wants to become a bodyguard

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

Four year old Aziz lives in a slum community in Mumbai, and studies in kindergarten at a local school. Like most other kids his age, he loves watching and playing cricket. Unlike many of them, he has a strange ambition- he wants to become a bodyguard! Aziz is enrolled in Pratham’s Library Program, where he is encouraged to pick up whichever books he wants to read. Though he hasn’t yet learnt to read, he loves having books read out to him, and looks at the pictures when there is nobody to read the stories out.

Your donations will ensure that Aziz 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‘.
