Grant and Funding Programs Offered by Pebbles to Pearls Foundation (P2PF)

Pebbles to Pearls Foundation is a Canadian charitable foundation that provides discretionary funding to grassroots educational initiatives focused on women and girls. The organization acts as a funding intermediary, channeling donor contributions to established partner organizations in developing countries.

The foundation supports education projects across three primary countries: India, Ghana, and Zambia. Its funding priorities include vocational training, literacy programs, secondary education access, and sustainable development education. The organization specifically targets women and girls, with emphasis on rural and underserved communities.

Core partner projects include: Barli Institute in India (providing six-month residential training to young rural women), Prerna Girls School in India (secondary education for girls), Gyan Setu One Room Schools (primary education access), and Olinga Foundation in Ghana (literacy programs). In 2024, the foundation reported funding 150 young women trained at Barli Institute, 25 scholarships awarded at Prerna Girls School, and new secondary school classrooms built in Zambia.

The organization is governed by a volunteer board of directors and maintains detailed policies on privacy protection, conflict of interest, and sexual violence prevention. Annual reports are published documenting project outcomes and financial allocation.

Founded in 2017 as a Canadian sister organization to the Mona Foundation, the organization rebranded to Pebbles to Pearls Foundation in 2022 while retaining the same partner projects and guiding principles.
