Started in 1988 with a magazine for children from the underserved communities, Katha’s work spans the literacy
to
literature continuum. By seamlessly connecting grassroots work in education and urban resurgence, Katha brings
children living in poverty into reading and quality education. Over the past three decades, through its many
programmes, Katha has helped over one million children help themselves out of poverty.
Katha has several programmes in place to help check poverty across the country. Katha Lab School, Katha’s Slum
Resurgence Initiative (SRI), Katha English Academy (KENGA), Katha School of Entrepreneurship (KSE), etc. are
some of
the many programmes Katha runs to ensure the child receives holistic learning. Katha’s I Love Reading campaign
is
another initiative undertaken to achieve this. ILR.
