Aadita
11th May 2021
‘Aadita’ is a social initiative co-founded by Kaavya Indrayan and Arzu Thareja which raises awareness, increases volunteering activity, and organizes social events for NGOs through a website-based platform, aadita.in , and various social media accounts. It is essentially a two-part project which serves as an intermediary between NGOs and connects them to eager volunteers.
At Aadita, we help link partnered NGOs to a stable base of volunteers who do active work with them regularly, this, in turn, helps the passionate volunteers effectively make a difference. We provide volunteers with this opportunity by educating them, as well as offering solutions to various social and environmental concerns. Additionally, we help NGOs host events such as workshops, webinars, fundraisers and more by providing them with the required help and publicity.
Our website is structured in an umbrella-like manner with different categories of social problems ranging from environmental issues to human rights. To raise awareness and attract volunteers, we use our different social media platforms to showcase our partnered NGOs. This includes educational posts on each organisation showcasing their aim, as well as current events we are hosting alongside our NGOs.
Through our project we aspire to create a community of like-minded individuals with a
common goal to further sustainable development, in one space, hoping that their
collaborations and contributions help grow an institution where social change is the norm.
