Based in Fairfax Virginia, we are a byproduct of Pardada Pardadi Educational Society, Inc. (PPES).

PPES is at the forefront of improving the lives of underprivileged rural girls from the poorest section of India’s society. PPES provides value based education and vocational skills to the girls. Following the ideals of women’s empowerment, PPES believes that once girls are educated, they will impart their knowledge to their family as an enlightened mother. The family in turn affects the quality of life of the community, the state and ultimately the nation.

PPES creates beautiful home decorations and gifts as part of their vocational training.  We want to be able to share these beautiful items with the world, hence the name of our company “From the Village to the World”. We hope that you enjoy our products.

If you have any questions, comments or would like to see items added to our store, please feel free to contact us.

PPES intends to be self-sufficient by supporting the costs of the school by the sale of home furnishings and gifts. But we're not there yet. We need everyone's help to develop a new generation of rural Indian women that are educated, enlightened, and prepared for a better future. Please visit our Donate Now link. Your contribution to PPES is 100% tax deductable through the Internal Revenue Service.
