Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Primary and Secondary Education
PPES operates 4 schools attended by over 3000 girls. Our primary focus is to empower girls and women from the poorest sections of society with education and employment opportunities or higher education. Our schools provide, classroom teaching, meals, transportation, uniforms, healthcare, sports and other development opportunities.
The school opened with 46 girls in 2000. Today there are 3000 students , ranging in age from 4-19(there are 4 separate schools-preschool, 2 elementary schools and an Upper school-Class 6 to 12). This school receives no government support, with all funding coming through private individuals, foundations and corporations. There are now 4000 girls on the school waiting list. Pardada Pardadi was started as a vocational school, with girls being guaranteed jobs upon graduation.
Community Heath and Hygiene
A community toilet and bathing facility constructed by PPES is now such an overwhelming success that plans are now underway to double its capacity. Over 200 families currently use the facilities.This Community Hygiene Center is in addition to over 80 individual toilets constructed by PPES at student homes. These fill the need for privacy and hygiene what was sorely lacking in the community.
Healthcare
Providing healthcare to our students and the extended community is a major focus of the PPES. In the Fall of 2012 fall, we opened a Health Center at the school and hired a school nurse. PPES is the only school in the region to provide for the health needs of their students. A Hygiene program allows the girls to brush their teeth and wash with soap daily at school, reducing illness and spread of disease. In June 2013, a medical camp was organized with 25 US medical personnel participating through a partnership with International Medical Relief. The team saw over 2500 patients in 6 days. Due to the success of the program, IMR has committed to return in March, 2014. We are currently working on plans to build a much needed medical clinic on school grounds for the villagers, as there is no health care available in the village. Our partnership with Vitamin Angels allows us to provide Albendezole(deworming) to all villagers, as well as Vitamin A to all children under age 5.
Women' Self Help Groups
1500 village women participate in Self Help Groups, receiving Health and Hygiene Education, as well as learning about, and having their own banking system. This allows the women to borrow from the money they contribute and not have to go to money lenders, who charge exhorbinant interest rates. A dairy project has created business opportunities for the women to sell their buffalo milk. A recent grant has allowed for expansion of the program, improving breeding and milk production, artificial insemination and veterinary care to build this program.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Our goal is to empower girls and women with education, health and employment to create the opportunity for a productive life in society. The challenges are the centuries old traditions of no education for girls, no healthcare availability, no alternative to manual labor, servitude, child marriages, malnutrition and no voice for women in society.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Our strategies include:
- Opening a pre-school to help adjust young girls to the rhythm and routine of attending school to greatly increase they chance of success in primary and secondary school.
- Provide a well rounded education in Math, Science, English, Hindi, Arts, and History
- Teach leadership and health skills
- Provide healthy meals and healthcare
- Provide incentives to attend school and graduate
- Guarantee either a job or higher education upon graduation
- Support the community via community development projects
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
PPES capabilities include:
- Exceptional board and management leadership
- Committed and supportive donors worldwide
- Outstanding staff and teachers
- Incredible students with unlimited potential from the poorest caste families of society
- 4 school buildings and land
- Community Health Building and land
- Close ties and good relationships with leaders of the community
- Office in Delhi
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
PPES's impact over the past 12 years has been remarkable. Each day over 1200 girls receive 3 nutritious meals, access to healthcare, education, the promise of a job or higher education upon graduation and, above all, a safe and supportive environment in which to flourish.
165 students have graduated from PPES since 2006. In 2012, all students who sat for the Level 12 Board Examinations passed, with 8 in first division and 6 with second. All 47 Class 10 graduates passed the UP Board Exams. 39 passed in first division, 7 with second, and 1 with third division. The highest scorer secured 83% marks. The total pass percentage of the UP Boards is 71.52%. 65.45% of Bulandshahr district pass. At PPES, 100% of the students passed. This is the highest rate yet at PPES.
25 graduates are currently employed with PPES and reputed organizations across India in various capacities. Their jobs include hotel front desk executive, computer engineer, fashion designer, accountant, vocational teacher, administrative staff and, health care assistant.
There are now 4000 girls on the school waiting list.
Our approach is a model to be replicated throughout rural India on how women can advance in society as we see first hand how our graduates postpone getting married, are inspired to achieve and empowered to demand human rights.
