Pratham’s programs are all driven by our simple, singular mission of "Every child in school and learning well."

Our programs all originate from specific needs in education. We search for low cost solutions that rely on partnerships and our vast volunteer base. And when our programs are successful, such as the ones listed below, we scale them up and apply them elsewhere.
