Every Child Deserves

Literacy & Learning

Over 50% of India’s fifth graders cannot read at a second-grade level.

 

Without literacy, the cycle of poverty continues. Australians can help to change that through their support of Pratham's Second Chance Program:

​

  • $500 will change a girl's life

  • 93% of all donations directly support beneficiaries

  • Pratham reaches India's most remote communities

Pratham's Mission

We’ve developed low-cost solutions that help us improve the quality of learning for Indian children on a large scale. By working with governments and building community programs, we’ve already reached tens of millions of Indian students and young people.

Pratham AUS has committed to focus its fundraising efforts on the “Second Chance” program that provides ongoing education for drop-out girls in India who have had to leave school early.

Every Australian has the opportunity to get involved by donating, volunteering, keeping up with the latest news or joining one of our travel programs. Corporate sponsors and partners are welcome to join the movement and build an even stronger connection between Australia and India.

Making A Profound Impact In India

Promoting Literacy

Through the Annual Status of Education Report (ASER), our work in education policy has given citizens, governments and nonprofits a voice in education reform internationally.

Ending the Cycle of Poverty

Pratham’s flagship literacy program, "Read India", has demonstrated that children can learn more efficiently when grouped according to ability rather than age.

From Mumbai to the World

What started with a single preschool in the slums of Mumbai has evolved to reach 45 million children and youth through literacy and vocational programs in 20 Indian states.

Recognised Leaders

Our contributions to education have been internationally recognised with accolades including the Asia Game Changer Award, the BBVA Frontiers of Knowledge Award, the WISE Prize for Education, and the Skoll Award for Social Entrepreneurship.
