At a glance
Key takeaways
- Pratham UK's giving fits best if your project is about learning for children, young people or women, particularly literacy and numeracy, early childhood development, vocational training or digital learning, and if it is in India, Kenya or delivered globally, which are the places its focus names.
- The published material gives no grant range and no application process, so any request size should be raised with the contact shown rather than assumed.
- The charity says it hopes to extend support to local education NGOs implementing Teaching at the Right Level in their own communities, which is the clearest signal of where a small organisation in this field might fit.
- Because it gives through Pratham entities and Pratham International, start by getting in touch to ask how requests are handled.
- Organisations working outside these themes or places have a less clear fit.
