Akash loves coming to the Center

boy 4
Dear Saachi, Alice, and Joel,

Thank you for ensuring that 35 children like Akash are enrolled in Pratham’s Read India program for a year.

Seven year old Akash is a regular at the Balwachan Program conducted by Pratham in Jahangir Puri, New Delhi. He comes to the Center every day for three hours before going to school and spends that time practicing the alphabet as well as learning to construct simple words. The program is a boon to him, because he doesn’t learn much in the regular school in which he is enrolled.

Your donations will ensure that 35 children like Akash 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 Saachi, Alice, and Joel for doing your bit to ensure that ‘every child in India is in school and learning well‘.
