“I have had the privilege of working closely with Yuva Parivartan. The empowerment of our marginalised rural population, particularly the women and children, are a cause that is very dear to our NGO. We are grateful to YP for giving us the opportunity to be a part of various projects involving health and livelihoods. The dedication and compassion of the YP family is inspiring. We wish them great success in the future.”

“I was first introduced to Youth Career Initiative (YCI) when I was exploring livelihood opportunities for trafficking survivors. The effort to provide survivors jobs in the hospitality sector was not easy. However, YCI and Yuva Parivartan worked hard to ensure the survivors completed their courses and got placed. They are now well-settled and earning well, leaving their traumatised pasts behind. I thank Yuva Parivartan and YCI for the tremendous job they have been doing in enhancing the lives of trafficking survivors through sustainable training and jobs. Do keep up the good work!”

“Being a second generation American Indian, I wanted to focus on at-risk youth in India and my search led me to Yuva Parivartan. I was impressed with Yuva Parivartan’s professionalism from the beginning and went on to sponsor training and job placement for 100 students at their Bangalore center. Presently I support 100 more students in Gadchiroli. Even my sister was inspired and she sponsored 100 rural women in agriculture projects outside of Mumbai. The personal satisfaction of being involved with life-touching work is beyond words. I have also engaged my sons with my Yuva Parivartan work in order to instil a sense of responsibility in the next generation.”
