Since 2000, PPES has been improving the lives of girls and women in over 65 villages of Anupshahr, district Bulandshahr, which is one of the most backward districts in Uttar Pradesh, India. PPES aims to empower girls and women from the poorest sections of society by focusing on improving their quality of life. We provide free education for girls and job opportunities for women, thereby creating a new generation of self-reliant and educated women who are capable of breaking the cycle of poverty in the region. PPES was founded by Virendra (Sam) Singh, ex-President and MD of South Asia DuPont. Sam grew up in Anupshahr and moved to the US to pursue a successful corporate career. The internal calling to uplift his childhood community brought him back to his native village.

Vision: To facilitate the creation of a socially & economically empowered model for rural development Mission: Rural development through education, employment and empowerment of girls and women
