Last year, our employees donated 863 boxes filled with school supplies in support of these young learners as they strive for a brighter future for themselves, for their families, and for the community.

Sponsoring Women and Girls’ Education in India

In 2019, Cushman & Wakefield partnered with the Pardada Pardadi Educational Society (PPES), an organization that has been working for holistic rural development through social and economic empowerment of women and girls in Western Uttar Pradesh, India. PPES provides free education, job opportunities, healthcare and livelihood enhancement for girls and women from the marginalized sections of society and enables them to break out of the cycle of poverty.
