Strategising Inclusion in spaces occupied by Children in Need of Care and Protection with Jithin Nedumala
In this episode, we talk to Jithin Nedumala, founder of Make a Difference about the various strategies that can enable making inclusion a universal possibility even in spaces deprived of adequate amenities.
Jithin's initiative Make a Difference (MAD) today touches the lives of more than 5000 children with around 3300 volunteers nationwide. It is driven by two core principles, ‘enabling institutions’ and ‘empowering the child’. He is one of the few social entrepreneurs who is personally supported by Mrs. Michelle Obama through her International Youth Engagement Program. Even before he turned 24, he was awarded the Ashoka Global Youth Social Entrepreneur Award, Karmaveer Puraskar, Cordes Fellowship, Dasra Fellowship, and YouthActionNet Fellowship for his contribution to society.
