How we are governed
Who we are
What PAVE stands for
PAVE was born in 2007 because God implanted a dream in an individual’s heart to reach out to some of the poorest communities in North and Central India — caring for their social, emotional and spiritual well being.
-
People
Neighbours, not beneficiaries. We start with the person in front of us.
-
in Action
Classrooms, clinics, toilet blocks — work that shows up on the ground.
-
for Virtuous
Honest, accountable service that treats every life as precious.
-
Empowerment
Skills and dignity that outlast us, so communities carry the work on.
We are committed to caring for the “whole” person, so we take a holistic approach to everything we do.
Our approach
We love God and we love people
In every community we work in, we strive to share the love of Christ. Our aim is to empower people; our motive is to share Christ’s love.

Health Care
Addressing the basic healthcare needs of underprivileged children and rural villages.
Life Skills Training
Tailoring and vocational skills that equip marginalised youth, girls and women.
Sanitation Programs
Public toilet units that bring dignity, safety and health to entire neighbourhoods.
Spiritual Empowerment
Sharing the love of Christ within every community we serve.
