Pratham is an India focused NGO who’s mission is every child in school and learning well. Pratham works with schools, families and communities to make this happen. We work with governments, where they are willing, with village volunteers and village communities. We believe in a societal mission where citizens come together to ensure that India’s children have a better future.

Of India’s 210 million children, almost half are unable to read. Although Pratham has helped over 21 million children, there are still more than 80 million children who cannot read or write! Pratham believes that it is essential for children to read fluently and be able to do arithmetic confidently. These skills need to be built rapidly and on scale across the country. The basic foundation of learning can be built and strengthened by working with governments and citizens. READ INDIA –Pratham’s flagship campaign – has become a nationwide movement. Pratham now works in 21 of India’s 28 states wand has mobilized more than half a million members of the public to volunteer, in a range of capacities, to educate local children and build community support for primary education.
