Eight year old Arbaz lives in a slum comminity in Mumbai and is a student of grade 4 in a local school. Arbaz struggles with reading and writing, and is currently enrolled in a Summer Camp organized by Pratham in his community. His teacher is confident that in a couple of weeks, Arbaz will be reading simple books. Arbaz is a very responsible child, wants to become a doctor and serve his community. He loves drawing and colouring- in the photograph he is holding up a painting depicting the Eid celebrations in his community.
Your donations will ensure that Arbaz and 34 other children like him 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 doing well‘.
