Karina’s education

Karina is a shy and quiet eight-year-old. She lives with her parents, two brothers and sister. Her father is very well educated, whereas, her mother dropped out of school at a very young age. Karina’s sister is very young and Karina usually stays back and takes care of her when their mother goes to work.

Her family moved to their current location for employment opportunities. This complicated the decision for Karina’s schooling. Karina says she owes her life to Pratham as she could start to study again thanks to the organization.

Karina is extremely bright and loves to solve arithmetic sums. She is very sociable in surroundings where she is comfortable. She recently learned how to count and has taught all her friends as well. Her favorite game is hide-and-seek but she can only play once in a while as she is usually busy babysitting. She wants to become a teacher when she grows up so she can give back to the community. She also loves to help people who are in trouble. She says that once she is old enough she wants to change the education patterns in India and spread education to every part of the country.

Many thanks to you for helping children like Karina receive an education!
