Nazia has started reading now

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

Seven year old Nazia lives in a slum community in Mumbai, and studies in grade 3 at a local school. She is the fourth of six children – five sisters and a brother- and her father is a tailor. Nazia’s family realizes the importance of a good education, and are determined to ensure that all their daughters go to school. Nazia, along with four of her siblings is enrolled in the Read India Library Program, where she is encouraged to pick up and read books on her own. Her favorite story is the fable of the monkey and its hat, and she never tires of reading it. Till recently, she used to look at the pictures and guess the story, but now she has started reading it in Urdu. Nazia’s learnt a lot from the Program.

Your donations will ensure that Nazia 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‘.
