The Society
Established in 2004, PAHAL has assisted nearly 25,000 young people.
Participatory Action for Human Advancement & Learning is a registered society constituted to work alongside children, young people and communities in the advancement of education, health, livelihood and dignity.
Its programmes extend across six focus areas — education, health and wellbeing, science and technology, shelter and basic needs, skills and livelihoods, and community development — concentrated in the states of Uttar Pradesh and Punjab.
The Society follows a participatory method. Programmes are designed in consultation with the communities they serve, and their success is assessed by the capacity those communities retain once a programme concludes.
Our work
Six focus areas, a single objective.
The programmes below are not administered in isolation. Each is directed towards one objective: that a young person completes their education and enters adult life with greater opportunity than they began with.
Health & Wellbeing
Access to health services, preventive awareness and community wellbeing.
STEM & Innovation
Science and technology education, research exposure and academic conferences.
Shelter & Basic Needs
Nutrition, shelter and essential relief where households are in need.
Skills & Livelihoods
Vocational training and the transition from skilling to earning.
Community Development
Grassroots institution building and rural community development.
