Muskan wants to become a teacher

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

Eight year old Muskan lives in a slum community in Mumbai, and studies in grade 4 at a local school. Muskan regularly attends the Read India Library Program, which has greatly helped her develop a love for books and reading. Here, she is encouraged to pick up whichever books she wants to read, and not have books thrust upon her. Her favorite story is the fable of the lion and the mouse, which she reads in his native Urdu. Inspired by her teachers at the Pratham program, Muskan wants to become a teacher.

Your donations will ensure that Muskan 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‘.
