40% of a billion in India are below 18 years. They have no voice, visibility & agency in their everyday environment. 

We learn as much from our built environment or society as we do in school. In the classroom or at home, we may learn about kindness and sharing– but what about in the world outside? There’s pollution, chaos, and an atmosphere of survival. Even such a simple task as crossing the street to attend school is fraught with tension, and young humans grow up believing there is nothing they can do to change this. We learn to live with it, and often become passive and disgruntled citizens.

Daily exposure to inaccessible, inequitable and risk induced school going experiences affects physical and mental well being of children. Road Traffic Injuries, mental health, systemic invisibility are looming upon children. With such hostile and unforgiving environments, what kind of humans – and communities – are we creating?

Let's build a better future.
