Pratham Education FoundationJob Opportunities, Program Roles

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

Over the last 25 years, Pratham has grown to be one of the largest non-profit organizations working to provide quality education to children and youth in over 20 states and union territories across the country, through a range of interventions.

About the Girls and Women Programs

Pratham's research and experience shows that barriers, such as lack of confidence in their own abilities, poor or non-existent foundational and applied skills, coupled with a general lack of information about employment and livelihood pathways, about life events and opportunities, influence girls' and women's willingness and abilities to seek and access education and employment opportunities.

This situation is rooted in and perpetuated by a set of social norms and expectations that frame what is thought of as appropriate behaviors and roles for girls and women.

We aim to integrate a gender lens into our content, operations, measurement systems and overall operations to ensure our mainstream programs and offerings are cognizant of and effectively respond to the needs and contexts of girls and women.

Moving forward, Pratham will focus on bringing together content and activities for "learning for school", "learning for life" and "learning for work" in order to build effective pathways for girls and women to transition successfully into the next stage of life.

Simultaneously, we will expand Pratham's existing programs for girls and women into Pratham's mainstream program areas as well as new geographies.
