Pratham Sweden

Founded in 2010, Pratham Sweden is a non-profit association based in Stockholm, Sweden working on education, children & youth.

Pratham Sweden is the Swedish non-profit association supporting Pratham Education Foundation, a non-profit based in India that works for universal literacy and quality primary education for disadvantaged children. Pratham Sweden raises funds from Swedish companies, foundations and private individuals for Pratham's work in India, spreads knowledge in Sweden about the education situation in India, and funds evaluations of the programmes it finances to improve them. Its best-known method is Teaching at the Right Level, which groups children by learning level rather than age, and it runs the annual ASER assessment of learning outcomes. Founded in Stockholm in 2010 as a youth-led association, it holds 90-account fundraising status under Svensk Insamlingskontroll, which caps administration and fundraising costs at 25 percent. Its work is carried out with Stockholm School of Economics for impact evaluation and with a number of major Swedish companies on sustainability projects, including a project in Assam.
