PACE is a voluntary development organisation deeply committed for a people centred development with the mission of empowering the dalits, women, and poor and marginalized, children and old aged community people. PACE is a non-profit, non-governmental civil society organisation, which believes in participatory approaches and practices participatory methodologies for empowering the community. Over the years PACE has developed its own distinctive identity, which is closely related to the needs of the area where it operates.

PACE was founded by a group of young and dynamic citizens who had a deep social concern and commitment for social change processes. We believed that when given an opportunity the poor men and women could rise on the occasion to help themselves much more effectively than any outside program. We also believe that mobilising the community; educating them and sharing right information would give them an advantage in their social lives.

PACE strives to educate, organise and empower the rural poor to promote people centred development as a liberating force aimed at social justice, economic growth and self-reliance.
