Parivaar Education Society

In India, many young people don’t get a chance to study because their families lack the income to pay school fees. Parivaar Education Society runs a residential program where marginalized youth (those who are homeless, orphaned, abandoned, of tribal background, children of prostitutes, or on the streets) have the chance to develop and learn in a stable environment where there are also expectations for academic success.

EMpower’s fourth grant to Parivaar will allow Parivaar to continue to develop the Amar Bharat Vidyapeeth school, supporting teachers and the headmistress. Teachers will receive ongoing coaching and support from Parivaar’s residential staff to develop skills required to teach students with special needs. Parivaar will prepare the school over the year for the eventual expansion to 8th standard next year. EMpower’s support also provides for school supplies for students as well as transportation and some school fees for older students (8th grade and above) who are attending outside schools in the area.
