Empowerment through education and good health
Take a look at the impact we've made so far
Opportunities through empowerment
Established in 2003, Pennies for Education & Health (PEH) works towards empowering a new generation of children and their families, primarily in the developing world, through education and good health. Through our donor sponsorship program, you can transform the lives of these children and their families by helping to tackle the root causes of poverty. Our program extends to all people, regardless of faith, gender, or ethnicity.
Additionally, PEH provides for their health care needs through the efficient and effective distribution and provision of donated medical supplies and other resources. PEH also supports numerous health institutions in India including Gujarat Cancer Society, The Polio Foundation, Ummeed and The Maternity Hospital.
PEH also provides programs to empower women, by providing them with basic life skills as well as employable skills. Our pledge is to use 100% of all donations that we receive to directly support our programs as well as the promise that any child who starts a sponsored education will receive funds until their education is completed!
Educating the future generation
Our goal moving forward is to increase the sponsorship of new students by 250 students per year.
Over the years, thanks to the efforts of numerous volunteers, both in the United States and in India, the donor sponsorship has been able to grow and develop to the point where it has now supported the educational needs of over 6,800 students from pre-primary school through college.
Driven by a commitment to make the world a better place for a future generation, and with people like you, PEH enables these children and individuals a chance to realize their potential and help break from the vicious cycle of poverty by tackling the root causes.
100% committed
Our pledge is to use 100% of all donations that we receive to directly support our programs as well as the promise that any child who starts a sponsored education will receive funds until their education is completed!
Empowering the disadvantaged children of the world
Pennies for Education and Health (PEH) empowers disadvantaged children of the developing world with education and health care. PEH also provides for the health care needs of these children and their families through the efficient and effective distribution and provision of donated medical supplies and other resources.
Our women's empowerment program aims to teach widowed, divorced and neglected women employable skills, in addition to the basic life skills needed to support their families.
Our programs extend to all people regardless of faith, gender or ethnicity.
The growth of PEH
Pennies for Education and Health was established in January 2003 at the aftermath of the Gujarat earthquake and the subsequent events which prevented the children of needy families from getting even the basic education needed to be functioning members of society.
Drs. Basheer and Saleha Khumawala, both faculty members in the C. T. Bauer College of Business at the University of Houston, were inspired to start the organization after the visit to the refugee camps was an experience they simply could not forget. The helpless cries of the families and seeing the countless children with no hope for the future spurred them. Their goal to transform the lives of a new generation is simple: “Empowerment through education and Good Health.”
