Support Pratham Now
School closures for over 20+ months in India have disproportionately impacted children in under-resourced communities. Pratham is focusing on getting children ready for school to stem the steep learning loss that has occurred. As communities and schools reopen, Pratham will be needed more than ever to rekindle education and learning.
