Pratham – the goal of this nonprofit is to ensure that every child in India – regardless of social or economic status – will be able to attend school, and thereby lay the groundwork not only for personal success and advancement, but for the educational enfranchisement of an entire society. Pratham promotes forward-thinking educational programs that can be replicated and scaled up to reach large numbers of children at a sustainable cost. It works with school systems, communities, and government stakeholders to advocate for broad-based educational reform, and offers teacher training programs that empower women from underprivileged segments of Indian society. Pratham is working toward the day when pre-school and primary school education will be available to every child in India.
