The Pardada Pardadi Educational Society's (PPES) primary mission is to empower and uplift girls from rural India out of poverty through academic and vocational training. Over the last 10 years, the organization has worked incredibly hard not only to transform the lives of its students, but to better the communities and villages in the school's area. The students learn both academic skills (reading, writing, etc.), but also vocational skills which may be used to support future employment opportunities. Students are provided with clothing, transportation, basic health care, and 3 meals a day, all at no cost to students or their families. However, what I found most interesting is the organization's incentive-based model; students are paid 10 rupees per day to attend school. The money is deposited into a savings account and may only be withdrawn after graduation. PPES has also expanded its efforts to work with the local communities through public toilet projects, distribution of sanitary women's pads, street plays, and blanket distributions during the winter. The organization's founder, employees, and teachers are passionate about bringing positive and lasting change to a small area in rural India.
