4 5 PRATHAM MEANS FIRST

Pratham Co-Founder “Mumbai needed about 4,000 Balwadis (preschools), but officials said there Dr. Madhav Chavan on wasn’t enough space or trained manpower. Taking this shortage of resources into account, we began to set up preschool centers in Mumbai that identified young INNOVATION women in slum communities who were good with kids—we gave them a simple orientation and some play materials and asked them to find a community space where the parents would send their children for a couple of hours. The women were allowed to charge a small fee and keep the collection as their income. The Balwadis proved that, even without money, space or trained teachers, you could succeed on a large scale if you just cleared the restrictions in your mind.”

Pratham CEO “Pradhanji, the​ village​ headman in Sultanpur, did not believe the results of the Dr. Rukmini Banerji on ASER village report card that had been shown to him: although almost all of the children were enrolled in school, only a very small fraction could read. Armed MEASUREMENT with a reading tool, he walked through the village. Every child he met was asked to read. By the tenth child, he sat down, put his head in his hands and said, “yeh to mere izzat ka sawal hai (this is a question of my honor). How can this be the situation with children in my village and I not know about it?” ASER’s simple but effective approach to measurement had revealed what was invisible in plain sight.”

Pratham Co-Founder “In 1990, while giving a speech at UNICEF on the vulnerability of girls, especially Farida Lambay on those living on the streets, I was interrupted by a brash young man: “Will working with a few girls change the country?” At first I was taken aback. Then my deep- SCALE rooted conviction became clear: investing in children is investing in the country. I felt inspired. That young man turned out to be Madhav Chavan. I went from doing a small-scale education study of families in Mumbai—important work though it was—to talking with him about giving an education to every child in India. Some people thought we were mad. We took this as a compliment and went to scale. The rest is history: from Mumbai to the country—and now the world.”
