Testimonials

My name is Yahiya Aameen Shaikh. I come from a simple, hardworking family. My father was a bus driver, and my mother is a homemaker. We never had much, but what we had was precious - love, values, and an unshakable belief in the power of education. My parents never had the luxury to chase their dreams. But they made a silent promise to themselves - that their son would. They worked tirelessly, sacrificing comforts and pushing through countless hardships just to ensure that I could go to school in a clean uniform with a bag full of books and a head full of dreams. I completed my schooling at Kendriya Vidyalaya No. 2 CRPF Gandhinagar, earned a diploma from a government polytechnic, and later secured admission to Nirma University - a moment that felt like stepping into a dream. Every semester brought challenges, both academic and financial, but my parents always made sure my education never stopped. They managed to pay my fees, semester after semester, no matter what it took. In my final year, while managing my internship and completing my degree, I also worked part-time delivering parcels for Swiggy. It was during those long evenings on the road that I truly realized something profound - 'Sahi jagah par mehnat karna kitna zaroori hota hai.' Working hard is important, but working in the right direction - towards growth, towards purpose - is what truly changes your life. Still, there came a time when my family's strength, both emotional and financial, was stretched thin. One semester's fee became a mountain we couldn't climb - until PEH (Pennies for Education and Health) stepped in. PEH didn't just provide financial help. They gave us hope. Their support arrived when we were running out of options, out of breath. Because of them, I didn't have to miss classes, didn't have to drop a semester, and most importantly, I didn't have to give up on my dreams. That one act of kindness changed everything. Today, I am a graduate. I am working in the field of technology I once only dreamed about. I walk into my workplace each day with confidence and purpose - carrying not just my education, but the sacrifices of my parents and the generosity of strangers who chose to believe in someone like me. To the kind souls behind PEH and every donor who contributes: please know this - your support doesn't just pay for books or tuition. It fuels ambition. It lifts families. It transforms lives. And to every student out there walking a path filled with struggle: hold on. Keep going. Education is more than just degrees and certificates. It is strength. It is light. It is freedom. Because education doesn't just open doors - it builds the courage to walk through them. Thank you, PEH, for walking with me when I needed it the most.

Ma'am, I am Sarrah Rangwala, one of the many recipients of the help given by your prestigious institution. Education is every student's right but unfortunately not many children, especially in a country like India, where earning money is more of a priority than gaining knowledge and educating oneself, especially at an age which rightfully demands so, Pennies for Education and Health comes forward as a ray of sunshine in a land of pitch black darkness. PEH has been really helpful in providing me not only monetary help but also allowing me to still believe in humanity and fraternity and to rise together as a community. I too would one day hopefully like to be a part of such an institution preferably PEH which has helped me, and make a healthy cycle of give and take, a principle that this entire universe has been built on.

As-salamu alaykum, Two years ago, I finished my postgraduate studies in industrial chemistry in my home country, India. I wanted to start the research in drug delivery for my doctorate studies. Despite having low hopes, I decided to apply for the doctorate's program in chemical science. I put a lot of effort into my application and I was thrilled to find out, a few days later, that I had been awarded Royal Society of Chemistry Researcher Award - United Kingdom- 2019, and currently I am working with the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, United Kingdom. While searching for funding opportunities, I came across the well established PEH scholarship program, Ahmadabad. The scholarship was not only based on financial needs but also took into academic achievements. I applied and could not believe it when I was received a PHP scholarship for my doctorate studies. I was able to concentrate fully on my academic research studies and my education did not put a financial burden on my family and me also. Your support has allowed me to be one step closer to my research goal and has inspired to help others by giving back to the muslim community. I hope one day, I will be able to help other students achieve their goal just as you have helped me. Inshallah, after my Ph.D., I am planning to do a post-doc and I believe that my academic qualifications and the awards therein prove my ability to successfully adapt to new professional environments. I also believe that I can stand up to the standards required by a professional workplace. Once again thanks to this PEH scholarship, I hope that my experience can serve as an example of the importance of sponsoring students who do not have the financial resources to study in India or abroad.
