About Pratham International

Pratham International is a US 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to supporting innovative learning solutions for children and youth worldwide. We facilitate the adaptation and expansion of proven, scalable educational models—originally developed in India by the Pratham Education Foundation—to diverse contexts across the Global South. By providing programming and technical assistance tailored to local realities, we ensure that effective learning practices can take root anywhere.

Today, Pratham reaches approximately 7.5 million children annually across 23 Indian states and union territories and an additional 1 million across 31 countries.  We focus on creating sustainable educational models designed for low-resource communities. Our approach emphasizes learning for school, work, and life, ensuring that youth are equipped with the foundational skills necessary for success. To support these goals, we develop and deploy accessible resources that address the specific linguistic and cultural needs of the regions we serve.

Pratham International is committed to building long-term solutions and high-quality digital public goods. By gathering continuous feedback from the field and collaborating with global philanthropic partners, we work to ensure that every child, regardless of their geography, has the opportunity to be in school and learning well.
