WHY SUPPORT
PRATHAM NOW
Over the last several months, we have all witnessed the impact of Covid-19 in India
devastating families and communities.
When the second COVID-19 surge hit India in late April, the country went into
lockdown and schools that had barely reopened after a year, shuttered again.
During this period, Pratham stepped up to provide urgent relief by distributing much
needed oxygen concentrators across 24 Indian states, and providing 20,000+
communities with the knowledge and means to cope with the pandemic.
We are now focusing on getting children ready for school after an 20-month hiatus,
and to stem the steep learning loss that has occurred. As communities and schools
reopen, Pratham will be needed more than ever to rekindle education and learning.
Help us ensure that the pandemic does not rob India's children of their right
to an education.

PRATHAM NATIONAL
VIRTUAL EVENT
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 28, 2021: AN EVENING OF REFLECTION AND HOPE
Pratham events, traditionally hosted in-person across the U.S., are premier events for our
supporters. Attendees include philanthropists, corporate executives and Indophiles, all
with a personal commitment to improving education for underprivileged children in India.
In 2020, all events were canceled due to the pandemic. Pratham's first National Virtual
Gala last year brought together more than 1,100 attendees for a highly successful event
which raised more than $2 million, enabling learning for more than 600,000 children in
India during the lockdown period.
This year with all in-person benefits on hold due to the Delta variant, we invite you to
this special virtual event 'An Evening of Reflection and Hope' featuring a conversation
with Fareed Zakaria, CNN Host and The Washington Post Columnist, Dr. Rukmini
Banerji, Pratham CEO and other special guests about the post-pandemic world.
