Young
We believe age is never a barrier to creating meaningful change. We lead with energy, optimism and purpose.
EDUCATION · ENVIRONMENT · ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY
Education is the greatest pathway out of poverty.
We partner with schools, communities, governments, and corporate supporters to improve learning environments, nutrition, and opportunities for millions of children across India. But for millions of children, opportunity is still determined by where they are born—not by their talent, effort, or aspirations. Every child deserves the opportunity to fulfil their potential.

WHAT WE DO
How We Create Lasting Change
Communities don't experience challenges in isolation. A child cannot thrive without quality education. A young person cannot succeed without opportunity. Families cannot prosper without resilient livelihoods and healthy environments. That is why Yuva works across four interconnected areas—creating lasting change from early childhood to employment while strengthening the communities that make it all possible.

With Yuva, it has been a fantastic journey. Over the last six years, we have seen a tremendous reduction in dropout rates among girls and boys going to schools in Cairn industrial areas. The new toilets and smart classrooms have not only led to empowerment of children but the entire village. There is so much positive energy when you're working with Yuva. I think this is one of the best NGOs I have been working with and I would like to do so till my last day.
