Founded in 1995 to provide education to children in Mumbai slums, Pratham (meaning "first" in Sanskrit) has evolved into one of India's largest and most effective non-governmental education organizations. We collaborate with governments, communities, parents, teachers, and volunteers, employing innovative interventions to address educational gaps. Our mission, "every child in school and learning well," is the driving force behind our efforts to impact the lives of India's children, from leadership to field teams.
