Saajiya realizes the value of a good education

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

Nine year old Saajiya lives in a slum community in Mumbai, and studies in grade 5 at a local school. She is the third of six children – five sisters and a brother- and her father is a tailor. Saajiya’s family realizes the importance of a good education, and she and four of her siblings are enrolled in the Read India Library Program, which makes learning fun. Saajiya’s encouraged to pick up and read whatever book she wants, and the book she keeps returning to is one called “Ek Tha Accha, Ek Tha Baccha”. While Saajiya loves reading, her favorite subject is Maths, and the teacher at the Read India class often clears her doubts for her.

Your donations will ensure that Saajiya 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‘.
