THSN Global Fundraiser Challenge 2023

THSN is currently supporting the Parent Education Program, which is being implemented in 57 different communities spanning three locations within Maharashtra - Thane, Pimpri, and Ghatkopar. The program was launched in June 2020, with the primary objective of catering to parents (95% of whom are mothers, while the remaining are fathers or guardians) who have children between the ages of 3 to 7 years old. The program also has secondary beneficiaries, which include children aged 3 to 7 years old. To date, the program has successfully reached out to over 2,100 parents every year, with an indirect impact on over 2,200 children aged between 0 to 6 years old since July 2020.

With the funds received via THSN’s Global Challenge 2023, Pratham will establish libraries within target communities. The objective of this initiative is to encourage and foster a culture of reading among children, thereby promoting their language development. The initiative involves the curation and procurement of age-appropriate story books in regional languages that will be provided to the children and families via libraries set up at the community level. Each library will be placed in a community and managed by Pratham volunteers and leader mothers, who will ensure that the books are rotated regularly and used effectively.

Location: 57 communities in (between Ghatkopar, Thane and Pimpri). 

Per unit cost of library: Rs 2,500

No. of beneficiaries: approx. 3000
