Program for Education and Awareness Building

Women, whose husbands are addicted to alcohol, often become the main breadwinners, relying on occasional and poorly paid farming work. They value PEAB and hope participation in the program will help their children to secure a better life. Through PEAB students are assisted to learn and also encouraged to understand and advocate for their rights. With modest resources, committed tutors, and strong community support, PEAB continues to improve school retention and success rates in State Board examinations. Indigo’s partnership with PEAB has given hundreds of students a chance to improve their life circumstances. Many now aspire to careers such as teachers, nurses, engineers, and business professionals. For Dalit children, such dreams were unimaginable just a generation ago.
