Educating children for brighter futures

Pestalozzi Children's Village Society is an Indian charity that provides exceptionally bright children, from some of the most challenged socio-economic condition in India and Nepal, with a child-centred education that produces young adults capable of changing the world.

What does Pestalozzi India do?

In economically weak, rural areas, of India and Nepal our experts work with communities to select the brightest 10-year-old children (two girls for each boy) among those held back by challenging socio-economic conditions, gender stereotypes, poor education and pressure to work and early marriage.

With the encouragement of their families, we offer these children the opportunity to leave behind these difficulties, and move to one of the Pestalozzi Villages where they receive:
