Warm wishes from Payir Team to you and your family for the 2015 Holiday Season.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your interest in Payir and would like to share some updates from our Team. It has been an eventful 2015 at Payir Trust and we have made great progress in our existing projects and looking forward to the new initiatives we have undertaken.

Here are a few initiatives we started in 2015:

School dropout children Residential Education Program
This year we rescued some children from illegal forced child labour. These children have limited or no family support and are left to fend for themselves. We have adopted them as part of this program and provided safe accommodation, food, and clothing and initiate them into education so they can catch up with kids of their age. We are glad to see them smile and have a normal childhood. The cost to support a child is Rs.3000 per month (US$50). You can support us with $200 for 4 months, $400 for 8 months or $600 for 12 months.

Adolescent Girls Empowerment Program (AGEP)
We have started a supplementary nutrition program for adolescent girls in government schools. This program reaches out to 3200 adolescent girls in 18 government schools and provides supplementary nutrition, addresses anemia and provides valuable training that facilitates their empowerment. We also reach out to 136 school dropout kids who need such support largely. The program provides much needed employment to 100 residents in 18 villages who are employed in various roles in this program and play a pivotal role in making it successful.

Core Programs
As in the past years, we continue supporting our core programs of providing health care, education, skill development/training, agriculture, cattle rearing – reaching out to 20,000 villagers in 10 villages.

Please visit our Facebook page which we update regularly with news, pictures and videos.

We are very grateful to supporters such as you without whom we cannot make this difference in the lives of so many people. And we are looking for continued support from you and your friends. Please take his Holiday Season to make your donations. And keep in mind that all donations in India or US are tax exempt.

Again wishing you and your family best wishes for the Holiday Season and a very Happy New Year.

Sincere Wishes
Payir Team
