More Information About this Project

Project Needs and Beneficiaries

A staggering 51 percent of India's population of 1.1 billion people are under 25 and two-thirds under 35. It is important to create opportunities and platforms for these young people to realize their potential to create change. Often lack of peer support and not knowing how to take their passion forward can result in young people not acting or taking a stand. As India develops, social complexities will also multiply and it is esential to create changemakers who will address those challenges
