Eleven year old Sadaf lives in a slum comminity in Mumbai and is a student of grade 5 in a local school. Despite the fact that she has been going to school for many years, she struggles even to identify the letters of the Marathi alphabet. She is currently enrolled in a Summer Camp organised as a part of Pratham’s Read India program, and in a few weeks, she is expected to graduate to reading entire stories. Sadaf has an older sister who is in grade 10- her parents relize the value of a good education and do their best to ensure the best for both their daughters. Sadaf wants to become an engineer when she grows up.
Your donations will ensure that Sadaf 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 doing well‘.
