Story

Make a positive impact on children's lives…

Imagine a world where every child, regardless of their circumstances, has the chance to receive a quality education.

To make this imagination a reality, support me as I skydive to raise funds and awareness for an incredible charity called Pratham. They are India's largest Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO), solely dedicated to deprived children's education.

Pratham have already reached over 500,000 children equipping them with the necessary tools and knowledge to reach their full potential. Amongst many other things, they are also actively closing the gender gap for women and girls who were previously denied an education.

However they can’t do this alone. So, together, let's make a difference in the lives of these children. Your contribution, regardless of how big or small, can bring light into their world and break free from the cycle of poverty to build a better future!

Since 1995, Pratham has grown to become India's largest Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) solely dedicated to children's education. They have developed innovative, high-quality, and cost-effective solutions that have the power to transform lives. One of their initiatives is Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL), which focuses on basic literacy and learning. They also have specialized programs, such as the Second Chance program, which re-engages women and girls who have previously dropped out of school.

Through their incredible efforts, Pratham directly reaches approximately 500,000 children; Providing them with the opportunity to learn and thrive. In just 100 hours, Pratham's interventions have achieved remarkable results, with 88% of children becoming mathematically capable and 79% able to read. Moreover, they have professionally trained an astounding 150,000 children, with some 27,000 children securing graduate jobs.

Pratham is not only committed to boys' education but also actively works towards bridging the gender gap, enabling girls who have been denied access to education to reclaim their right to learn. Their impact extends far beyond India’s borders, with their solutions being implemented in 130 countries, benefiting an additional 400,000 children in Africa alone.

As an accredited organization by MIT's Department of Economics, Pratham's impact on education is undeniable. Their dedication and achievements have earned them international recognition through prestigious awards. By supporting Pratham, you can be a part of this incredible journey, giving children the tools they need to break free from the cycle of poverty and build a better future.

For just £14 a month, a child can be sent to school for an entire month.

So, donate today and let's create a world where every child has the opportunity to learn, grow, and succeed.
