This is Pratham, through their eyes.

Nobel Laureates, Esther Duflo & Abhijit Banerjee, discuss the Pratham & Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL) partnership

Pratham programs are so effective because we always assess, research, and adapt our methods and programs. Pratham has also partnered with Abhijit Banerjee and Esther Duflo, winners of the 2019 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences, from the early years of J-PAL for over two decades, to rigorously evaluate our solutions for solving the challenge of low learning outcomes. 

Watch our interview with Abhijit Banerjee and Esther Duflo, where they discuss their work, and why they work so closely with Pratham.

"One thing that is great about Pratham is that anyone regardless of gender or religion has an opportunity to move ahead together." 

Suman Sharma is in Pratham's vocational training program (in hospitality), and talks about what she enjoys about the program.

"My parents had a dream of opening a school in their name. That is why I want to study further"

Barsha Samala from Pratham's Second Chance program talks about what she aspires to do with the opportunity she's gotten through Pratham.

As of 2018-2019, Pratham has programs operating in 24 cities, across 21 states and 1 union territory, in India - and our 6,000 field staff and 25,000 volunteers are at the heart of it all.

Pratham staff work hand-in-hand with local volunteers to organize early childhood activities, collaborative learning groups, and other programs to not only improve education outcomes, but to foster a stronger sense of community around education. Your gift to Pratham allows us to hire more staff, expand programs, and train more volunteers - like Subrata, from Kulori.

Watch his story, and know that your gift supports Subrata and tens of thousands more volunteers just like him - passionate, giving, and invested in the education of the young people in his community.
