Saadiya loves going through picture books

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

Five year old Saadiya lives in a slum community in Mumbai, and studies in kindergarten at a local school. She has three brothers and a sister, and has recently enrolled in Pratham’s Library Program. Though she hasn’t yet learnt to read, she loves seeing the pictures in the story books. Soon, she will start reading the stories herself. Saadiya loves reciting poems, her favorite being “chubby cheeks”. She wants to become a doctor when she grows up.

Your donations will ensure that Saadiya 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‘.
