SVP India’s Chennai Chapter partners delved deeper into the work done by education focused NGOs in our All Partner Meeting on 16th October. Vedika Agarwal, founder of Yein Udaan NGO gave an insightful introduction to the impactful work of the NGO. Our partners asked the origin story behind the interesting name of the NGO “Yein Udaan” is an amalgamation of two languages – Tamil (‘Yein’ meaning ‘My’) and Hindi (‘Udaan’ meaning ‘Takeoff’). Yein Udaan was conceived as an after-school community center to provide continuous training in academic, cultural, and sports activities to children in Chetpet’s Dhobi Khana community, located in central Chennai. The NGO creates a safe space for the marginalised children from the Chetpet in Chennai. The NGO takes a holistic approach and works with the children and parents from the community. The presentation was followed by an interactive session where partners understood the depth and width of the Yein Udaan interventions, scope for replication and the challenges faced by the founder in her journey.” Piyush Bhandari Gayathri Balan Vijayalakshmi Rao Babu SK Vedika Agarwal Meenakshi Ramesh Prahalathan K K Vaishnavi Srinivasan Janav Shah Dipesh Shah Akhila Natarajan Ishita Jhunjhunwala Sangeeta Kshettry #SVPIndia #EngagedPhilanthropy #Chennai #NGO #partnershipsforchange #socialimpact #philanthropy #nonprofits #education
