Why Learning?
It’s quite simple what we do, actually. Pratham meets a child at their learning level and teaches them the basics of reading.
It’s something we take for granted everyday. And yet, reading is one of the most transformative experiences of our lives.
Think about it – you are reading this right now. Imagine if you never truly learned how to read.
Would you be able to gain and hold the jobs you’ve had?
Would you be in the home you are in right now?
The inability to read is a reality for millions of children in classrooms today. Their friends are reading stories and dreaming of new possibilities, but their ability to read, and therefore to dream, is stuck. And no one is noticing.
Today, children like Rohan need you to take action. Rohan participated in Pratham’s summer learning camp this year. In a few short weeks he went from struggling to read simple text at 9 years old to reading full stories fluently.
“I couldn’t read before, and I felt scared in class,” Rohan shared. “But at [summer camp], I played, sang, and learned new words every day. Now I can read stories on my own. Learning is fun now!”
Your gift of learning today transforms futures of children like Rohan. This means future jobs, future homes, future thriving lives.
For their futures, give the gift of learning today.

From struggling with letters to confidently reading stories and solving math problems, she now dreams of becoming a doctor. Her story reminds us of the transformative power of a positive learning environment and a supportive community.
Every day, children and mothers are ready to learn. Your generosity makes it possible. Together, let’s turn hope into lasting change.
