Changemakers@Work: Transforming India's Future Through Volunteerism

Child Rights and You (CRY) has initiated a campaign called Changemakers@Work, aiming for a million hours of volunteer work for children in India by 2026. It encourages young professionals, homemakers, and seniors to contribute towards children's education, health, and protection, fostering a larger movement for change.

Child Rights and You (CRY) has launched a nationwide campaign, Changemakers@Work, with the ambitious goal of rallying volunteers across India to contribute a million hours for children's welfare by 2026. As the country gears up for the International Year of Volunteering, this initiative aims to inspire a diverse range of people—including young professionals, homemakers, and senior citizens—to dedicate their time to support vital areas such as education, health, nutrition, protection, and participation for children, according to the NGO.

Puja Marwaha, the CEO of CRY, emphasized the importance of the 'Wall of Change,' describing it as a powerful, inclusive platform for people to pledge their volunteering efforts. She stated, "It is a potent, accessible platform where people can pledge their volunteering hours, share their intent to give back, and see themselves as part of a much larger movement. As these pledges grow, they spark the momentum needed to turn aspirations into action."

This campaign is positioned as a driving force to foster community engagement and create a significant impact on children's lives, drawing attention to the growing need for volunteerism to address societal challenges.
