Sapna is 11 years old and lives in Bardpura, a town in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. She is in the seventh grade at the Pardada Pardadi Inter College. Her father, Teajveer, is a driver, and her mother, Kamlesh, is a house wife. Sapna has one sister and one brother.

Pardada Pardadi (PPES) provides free education and school meals for children like Dimpal as incentive to keep them in school and out of child labor. Dimpal’s parents are inclined to send her to school because she receives the daily lunches that you fund for her. Without this addition to her education, Dimpal and students in her situation would more likely work instead of attend school.

Thank you so much, Nicola, for providing PPES with the money to purchase school uniforms for Sapna. Sapna’s favorite subject is English and she wants to become a computer teacher when she grows up. Thank you again!

Pardada Pardadi provides education and nourishment for girls like Gunjan in rural areas of India. The organization strives to aid those that would normally be neglected due to societal norms and economic standings. Because of your kind donation, Venkat, Pardada Pardadi was able to provide Gunjan with a year of school meals.

Gunjan loves math and English and hopes to become a policewoman after she graduates. Thank you, Venkat, for providing Gunjan with a year of balanced lunches every day she attends school. Not only are you providing incentive for her to attend school, but you are providing incentive for her to pursue her dreams.

Pardada Pardadi provides free education and school meals for children like Dimpal as incentive to keep them in school and out of child labor. Dimpal’s parents are inclined to send her to school because she receives the daily lunches that you fund for her.

Thanks to your donations, Gaurav, Venkateswara, Rhea, Manish, Sivan, and Partha, Dimpal receives a balanced meal every day at school. Dimpal loves to draw and hopes to one day be a designer.

Rajesh is 18 years old and lives in Faajpura, India. Her father is a farmer and her mother stays at home to take care of Rajesh’s five siblings. Rajesh did not want to submit to the societal norms of rural India that expect women to stay at home and house keep.

With your support, Erica, Pardada Pardadi can provide Rajesh with six months of vocational training. Despite Rajesh’s high school education, she would have struggled immensely without additional training. Thank you, Erica, for supporting Rajesh in her mission to better her life.

Niyati is continuing her education so that she can fulfill her dreams. Thank you, again, Prasad, for providing a brighter future for Niyati and making her dreams a reality.
