Pratham is an innovative learning organization created to improve the quality of education in India. Established in 1995 to provide education to children in the slums of Mumbai, Pratham has grown in both scope and scale, with programs today reaching children and youth across the country.

As one of the largest non-governmental organizations in the country, Pratham focuses on high-quality, low-cost and replicable interventions to address gaps in the education system. Working directly with children and youth as well as through large-scale collaborations with government systems, Pratham programs reach millions of lives every year. Pratham's Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) approach has demonstrated proven impact on children's learning outcomes and is now being adapted to contexts outside India.

Covid-19 led to even more children falling behind and the mission of @TaRL_Africa even more urgent. While established by @Pratham_India, @JPAL_Africa & @JPAL, it is transitioning to an independent African org, registered in Kenya under brilliant leadership of Titus Syengo 7/n
