their academic career but could not bear the burden of university fees and expenses.

How ? We will make our team consisting of young people from different

professions and institutes. We will organize behavioural change workshops in universities and

colleges to eliminate negative attitudes from youth and promote a culture of non violence and peace among young generation.

We will organize working groups in universities under the supervision of mentors or teachers. Each group will then find students, who’d like to volunteer, by advertising through notice boards, pasting posters in universities and utilizing social media such as university journals etc

We will find donors and also contact with different NGO’s working for same cause by using different means of communications like social media, news papers, university journals etc

We will organize open meetings between donors and beneficiary students and also invite young icons to share their inspirational stories to motivate young people.

The methodology is effective and by working on it we can easily reach the vulnerable groups (according to our project) of the society i.e. Underprivileged youth. We will help people keeping in view our resources and try to utilize them in the best possible way.

What we want ?We want:To take steps for eradication of illiteracy from the society. To eliminate negative attitudes from the youth.To eradicate depression and frustration from youth.To promote the culture of non violence and peace among

youth and society.To help youth in selection of right profession by providing

career counselling through trained and professional volunteers.

set examples for those who wants to work for the society.

Outcomes Development of healthy educated society. Youth empowerment through education. Promotion of culture of non violence and peace. Elimination of criminal and negative attitudes from youth and also from

society.FEEDBACK: Influenced more than 100 students within a week and they appreciated

our efforts. At present we are financially supporting 2 students due to lack of

financial resources. We organized a workshop last week to create awareness among youth

about the power of positive attitudes and behaviors and got an amazing response to it.

The project is innovative and in the long run it will become self sustainable as the beneficiaries of today will be the donor of tomorrow and will provide their support to the deserving students of their time. As we are emphasizing on Peer to Peer relationship not Donor -Recipient relationship, it means the donor who is donating through us, is adopting that individual and he/she will surely respect the student’s self respect.
