The Story
In 2018, Rahul and his friends took the initiative to address the nationwide problem of young people lacking a platform to express themselves. They started a campaign called "Think out of the Box," capturing the voices of over 300 young people on t-shirts. This marked the beginning of their journey to create a space for young voices to be heard.
Since its inception in 2018, Rahul's campaign "Think out of the Box" has grown significantly. Today, they have a team of 1000+ youth volunteers who actively engage in the organization's mission. These volunteers report improved connections and compassion for the causes they address. By working on real-life challenges and confronting social inequalities, they become socially aware and motivated to act based on their values. The organization envisions these volunteers becoming lifelong leaders in the development field, believing in the power of personal transformation as a catalyst for change.
