Overlake School

Our mission is “Every Child in School and Learning Well”

Who We Are
Established in 1995 to provide education to children in Mumbai slums, Pratham (which means “first” in Sanskrit) is now one of the largest and most successful non-governmental education organizations in India.

Working in collaboration with governments, communities, parents, teachers, and volunteers, we focus on innovative interventions to address gaps in the education system. The clarity of our mission—“every child in school and learning well”—drives our focus to make an impact on the lives of India’s children and extends from our leadership to our team in the field.

Pratham USA is a volunteer-driven organization with 14 chapters across the United States that raise awareness and mobilize financial resources for our work on the ground.

What We Do
Develop Innovative Programs - Pratham uses outcome-driven programs that reconfigure teaching methodologies and challenge ineffective learning mechanisms. Our strategies focus on results, accountability and continuous learning and improvement.

Build Scalable Models - Pratham's low-cost learning models are rigorously tested and evaluated so they can be easily replicated on a larger scale to provide quality education to every child.

Advocate Change - Pratham’s willingness to take risks, adapt to changing circumstances and look beyond our programs gives us the leverage to create broader change. We amplify our impact by freely sharing information with other nonprofits and using our findings to advocate for large-scale policy changes.

Inspire Action - We engage parents, teachers and government to make learning a community effort. Local volunteers are vetted, trained and monitored to help implement learning interventions at the grassroots level using Pratham’s high-quality teaching materials.

Where We Work
With operations in 21 of India's 29 states, Pratham reaches millions of children and youth each year, from Kashmir to Tamil Nadu.  Our methods have also spread beyond India's borders through ASER, which has inspired parallel citizen-led assessments of children's learning in fourteen countries.

We strive for a just world that advances children’s rights and equality for girls.



We believe girls will drive change to make our world a better place. If we can reach and uplift every girl, we can achieve equality. And we’ll all be stronger because of it. 

Every girl’s potential is hers to discover, and her life is hers to live. It’s up to us to clear the path and let her take her next step.

So that’s what Plan International USA is doing. We are an international nonprofit organization, working with partners like you to tear down the barriers that keep a girl from the future she wants. In serving that mission, we’re addressing the root causes of poverty. Because when she takes the lead, she can lift up everyone around her.

Gender equality is a right, and we must work together to let her grow — men, women, girls, and boys. Why? An empowered girl shows her family that she’s worth being educated. She shows boys that they are equal to girls, and that boys can transform what it means to be a man. She reveals to her community that she can thrive in a “man’s job.” She changes the perspectives of her lawmakers, so they can help protect her and promote her success.

An empowered girl changes how she views herself. And that can change everything.
It’s not simple work, but it’s work worth doing. We’re all a part of the solution. And because of people like you, we have a team. When girls have a team behind them, they’ll have access to the futures that they choose. 

Let’s plan on getting them ready to cross their finish line.

I am giving to help Overlake School to grow their Malone Scholarship Fund.   We are thankful for the excellent education and nurturing our children received at the Overlake school and would like to see it become accessible to more young people from diverse background.  

Anoop and I have been long-time supporters of this organization.   They are the most effective and efficient educational non-profit in India and beyond.  

I have participated in some of the wonderful sex education classes that they offer to school children of different ages.   
The experience has convinced me that  age-appropriate sex education is very important in raising children who are comfortable with their own body and who can make well-informed decisions about their reproductive choices.   

I listen to KUOW all day for unbiased reporting on local, national and international issues.
