**benefit)**|Female children especially in the rural context are considered an
economic and social burden. Forgotten and uneducated, they are forever
dependent upon their husbands or male family members for their
livelihood. This leads to a cycle of repression, abuse, and neglect that
can only be broken with the self-reliance and enlightenment that
education brings.
Since 2000, PPES has been improving the lives of girls and women in rural
India. There are four key elements of PPES’s strategy, that together create
an eco-system to bind together the Education of girls with the local
communities. There are:-
1.
Education
a.
PPES runs 4 schools that provide education for
girls from 4 to 18
b.
PPES provides transportation, clothing, meals and
free education
c.

well as personal development in areas such as human
rights, women’s empowerment, art theatre, public
speaking and raising their sensitivity to the environment
d.
The schools are equipped with labs to enable

Maths and Computer Studies.

All girls are offered the opportunity to advance to
further education

Health and Hygiene
In 2012, PPES established a Student Health Centre called Pranal, to
provide healthcare for students at PPES and to provide advice on health
and hygiene matters.| |---|---| March **2012** **TAR** 3 In 2016, PPES opened the Prana Health Centre which provides high quality healthcare to nearly 200,000 students, staff and people around Anupshahr. See more at http://pranahealthcenter.org PPES works with volunteers and donors in countries around the world to create chapters that support PPES’s fundraising efforts. PPES UK is the UK chapter. The success of this eco-system is tangible, and today PPES has 1600 students from 138 villages. Acceptance and support of educating girls is growing, and there is positive progress towards gender equality and women’s empowerment in the villages impacted by PPES’s initiatives. PPES has reached 5000 village women through the self-help group program, approximately 80 women are employed in the Textile Production Centre, and all girls, women and families are trained in healthy living practices. The healthcare program provides check-ups and treatment at the primary healthcare centre on the school campus, and has recently extended a mobile service to villages. Some of this work is carried out thanks to the fundraising of PPES UK in the UK. |Section D|Achievements and performance| |---|---| |**Summary of the main**
**achievements of the charity**
**during the year**|| ||This financial year PPES received in donations and fundraising a total
of £18,754. This is significantly down on the prior year due to the
limitations on fundraising caused by COVID 19, and is explained
below;
IMPACT OF COVID
The impact of COVID resulted in significant challenges in the financial
year.
1. The most profound challenge was the need to close the school for
several months to comply with the Indian Government’s COVID
policy. However, PPES adapted to the conditions and continued
to safeguard the girls through the implementation of online
learning, that was enabled by the purchase of tablets for the
students. The staff and teachers of PPES converted some of the
school vehicles into mobile classrooms, and whlst visiting villages
carried out mentoring programs.
2. PPES UK was unable to host a fundraising event which
historically has been the primary source of income.
3. The deficit is the result of increasing costs and our investment in a
new website.| March **2012** **TAR** 4 ## ACHIEVEMENTS 4. A website was developed and implemented, improving the quality of information available to browsers, and better tools to analyse site visits and pages of greatest interest. The website is compliant with GDPR. 5. PPES was nominated as charity partner for the Asian achievers awards in September 2022. This is the rearranged event originally planned in September 2020. 6. The Trustees are in the process of exploring how to convert PPES UK from a Trust to a CIO Foundation. This will strengthen governance and compliance with developments introduced by the Charities Commission. March **2012** **TAR** 5 |**Section E**

**Section F**|| ||The charity's fund consists of unrestricted funds which are available to be
used in the furtherance of the charity's objectives, and restricted funds,
which must be applied to specific projects approved by the trustees.
Historically, reserves have been sufficient to fund programs, to mitigate
risks and support emergency situations. However, this financial year, the
overall fundraising that can be applied to reserves was too low to fund all
activities. As a result, the Trustees made a decision to use ‘GiftAid’ from
donations to bolster the reserve fund.| ||| ||**(Optional information)**| ||Total income into the restricted (£130,206) and unrestricted (£18,754)
funds amounted to £148,960, and total expenses were tightly managed
at £13,414, 9% of total receipts. At year end there is a total surplus of
£50,570, which will be remitted to PPES once the banking facilities are
available again as usual.
The main source of funds in the period resulted from some
benefactors, and of contributions from the personal networks of the
Trustees and other supporters of PPES.| ||**Other optional information**| March **2012** **TAR** 6 ## **Section G Declaration** **The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.** ## **Signed on behalf of the charity’s trustees** **Signature(s) Full name(s) Position (eg Secretary, Chair, etc) Date** March **2012** **TAR** 7 Charity number 1166879 Pardada Pardadi Educational Society UK Report and Accounts 31 March 2021 **Pardada Pardadi Educational Society UK Trustees Report Year ended 31 March 2021** ## **Legal and administrative status** Pardada Pardadi Educational Society UK (Formerly called Beti-Bring Education to India)was founded in Great Britain under declaration of trust dated 2 May 2016 and is registered as a charity under number 1166879.
