As we reflect on the past year, one which saw Pratham touch more than 16 million lives, we are inspired by the power and purpose of our collective community.

By enabling millions of children to acquire the foundational building blocks of reading and arithmetic, we improve their chances for embarking on a more promising future.

Family environment has a strong influence on academic success. Children who receive more attention and stimulation at home are more capable of grasping and retaining concepts. Unfortunately, many Indian parents lack sufficient education themselves, hindering their ability to assist in their children’s learning. With this in mind, Pratham makes an effort to involve mothers, as the primary caregivers in most households, encouraging them to take an active role in their family’s education. MENTORING THROUGH MEETINGS AND WORKSHOPS Through workshops, meetings and home visits, mothers become familiar with concepts and activities that increase school readiness. Furthermore, they gain an understanding of nutrition and basic health, allowing them to better support their children’s overall development.
