Katha is a globally recognized, non-profit ("profit-for-all") organization, which promotes the joy of reading and the love of books, especially among children living in entrenched poverty. Founded in 1989, by Geeta Dharmarajan, Katha is built on the vision that children can be agents of positive socio-cultural change. Kathaâs mission is to empower socio-economically disadvantaged children as they read for joy and meaning. Children, via Kathaâs Story Pedagogy, engage with âBig Ideasâ through high-quality reading content, which fosters their critical thinking and problem-solving skills so that they can go on to create a kinder, more equitable, and sustainable world for all.According to a UNESCO report of September 2016, âIndia will be half a century late in achieving its universal education goals.â Hence, we will achieve universal primary education only by 2050. India has 300 million children enrolled in schools. About 150 million 5-10 year olds are in primary education, of which nearly 50% cannot read well. Inability of children to read at grade level hits Indiaâs poorest the hardest, leading to entrenched poverty in society. If all 5-10 year old children are reading for fun and for meaning, they do well in school and are prepared to bring positive change to all, leading to sustainability for the people and the planet. Even to reach universal reading for all our children by 2050, India will need all of us to help!
