About Pratham:

Pratham was founded in 1995, to provide pre-school education to children in Mumbai slums.

About the ENABLE Program
The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 emphasizes the fundamental importance of universal foundational literacy and numeracy (FLN). But, children, especially those with special needs and disabilities, face significant barriers hindering their acquisition of foundational skills.

Alarmingly, a large proportion of them do not attend educational institutions, and 45% struggle to attain foundational literacy.
