Our Story
Who We Are: We are a youth-run non-profit organization (based in Oakville, ON) that fights for children's rights through our development projects, campaigns and events. We inspire and empower young people to follow their passion by equipping them with the resources and tools they need to provide children all around the world with their basic needs. Our Story: In 2012, Vishal and Ishan Vijay witnessed extreme poverty first hand in India. After spending time with underprivileged street kids, the brothers decided to start a small non-profit to help the kids that they had met. What started as a small group of 5 friends has now grown into a national organization actively working to protect and promote children's rights in Canada and around the world. What We Do: Inspire - We've never believed that you're too young to change the world. That's why we focus on inspiring and empowering our generation to become agents of change. We do this through workshops & speeches, school clubs & community chapters and Project Inspire Me. We create and distribute free resources and tools youth can use to change the world, while also mentoring them from our own experience. Once a young person is inspired, they can have an impact. Impact - Our development projects (like a school house, water well or state-of-the-art computer lab) are permanent structures that are made sustainable through community involvement. Our campaigns work to raise awareness and supplies to provide immediate aid to those in need. Hundreds of children's and their families directly rely on our development projects and campaigns every day to receive their basic needs, giving them the opportunity to improve their lives. Advocate - We've always believed that young people aren't just the leaders of tomorrow, we're the leaders of today. We know that if we really want to see a change in children's rights for the better, we need to influence national & international policy makers and 'people in charge' to care more about our rights and we need to raise awareness about issues affecting children. We focus on research, outreach and engagement, which all come together for a powerful form of advocacy. Our Impact: - 500,000+ people inspired - 100,000+ dollars raised - 30,000+ supplies collected - 1000's of families directly aided
