Spirit of Giving
SATURDAY, DECEMBER 12, 2020 FROM 8:30 PM TO 9:30 PM EDT

Get into the Spirit of Giving

This December 12, 2020, join us for an evening of entertainment with comedian, Amit Tandon, and a cappella group, Penn Masala. 

All of this for a great cause! Support Pratham's Digital Learning Village initiative at this special holiday event. 

For over 25 years, Pratham has worked at scale across India to address the country’s education crisis and touched the lives of 75 million children and youth. There is widespread concern that learning gaps for children in under-resourced communities will continue to widen due to school closures during the pandemic. 

Pratham's Digital Learning Villages provide learning opportunities for up to 75 children by strengthening participation from families and community volunteers with support from Pratham team members and ensuring ongoing access to connectivity and engaging content. Adopt a Digital Learning Village today
