About the Project

A social initiative rooted in proliferating basic economic and financial know-how for young students, Be the Change operates through a two-fold system to achieve its aim. Established in July 2023, the initiative seeks to not only improve financial literacy for students from underprivileged sections of society in Ludhiana, but also improve job security for teachers within the public education sector by offering skill-building opportunities. Through educational resources for both students and teachers and targeted donations to bolster teaching staff’s financial security, Be the Change seeks to make a tangible impact in transforming Ludhiana’s socio-economic landscape.

For this, we have conducted workshop sessions with students from underserved communities, teaching them basic economic concepts, and will be supplementing this with a student handbook as well as a teacher’s manual to help teachers effectively guide their students in understanding economics and finance.
