Empowering Change, One Child at a Time
What began in 2001 as a small initiative with just 30 children has today blossomed into a quiet yet powerful movement, touching the lives of over 35,000 underprivileged children and 180 senior citizens across communities.
At Peepal Foundation, we believe in the power of education to transform lives, and for over two decades, we’ve stood hand in hand with those who needed support the most. From providing school fees and uniforms to ensuring access to quality learning environments, our work is about more than just meeting immediate needs. It’s about nurturing dreams, building self-reliance, and creating a future filled with possibility.
UNICEF Report
“The lack of supportive educational environments and holistic development increases the risk of children engaging in detrimental activities, including child labor and other exploitative practices.”
Ministry of Education, Government of India
“Children from underserved communities often grapple with low self-esteem and a negative outlook, making them more susceptible to mental health issues like depression.”
Empowering Education, Transforming Lives
Over 1,500 children have received school fee sponsorships, books, and uniforms, ensuring that financial hardship never stands in the way of a child’s right to learn and dream. Through these initiatives, we’ve made education accessible and helped shape brighter futures for children who otherwise might not have had the opportunity.
Our Development Centres: The Heart of Our Impact
At our Development Centres in Pune and Mumbai, we’ve worked tirelessly to reduce school dropouts, strengthen subject foundations, and guide children toward academic success. Every child’s promotion to the next grade isn’t just a number—it’s a step forward, a tangible progression towards a future filled with opportunities and self-reliance.

Beyond Academics
Creating Safe Spaces for Growth
While academic success is at the core of our mission, we know that true empowerment goes beyond just textbooks. We’ve created safe spaces where children can find their voice. Through activities like public speaking, debates, and English competitions, we’ve helped turn language from a barrier into a bridge, connecting young minds to:
Confidence
Strengthening foundational skills in literacy, numeracy, science, and English to bridge learning gaps
Self-Expression
Equipping children with communication, problem-solving, and leadership skills to build confidence and resilience.
New Opportunities
Encouraging talents beyond academics to help children discover their potential and build self-worth.
