Our Campaigns
Since August 2020, we’ve conducted over 15 national, state and local campaigns to make the lives of the underprivileged slightly better, warmer and happier. Focusing on uplifting the needy by various means of women empowerment, child development, health and sanitation, animal welfare and environmental conservation. Apart from these, we make sure we spend all our festivals like Holi, Diwali, Christmas, New Year etc with those who have no one to call their own, and try to make them feel loved and cared for. We also conduct the Grains Bank every six months, donating over 1000kgs of wheat and rice uptil now. Regular drives like clothes, masks, and blankets donation take place all the time.
Project Mahavari
March 2021
Project Mahavari was a national campaign initiated by Youthika in March 2021, aimed at improving the menstrual hygiene condition of India. Project Mahavari included two things. Firstly, sessions were provided to hundreds of school girls, they were educated about menstrual hygiene, myths, and safety; guided and counseled regarding the same. Secondly, underprivileged girls and women across the nation were provided with sanitary kits with stock for up to 5 years. These kits would be taken from Project Inayat, a self-help group of rural women, hence providing them with an employment opportunity. Project Mahavari took place in numerous cities of Maharashtra, Odhisha, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Telangana, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, West Bengal, and Delhi. This project included various collaborations with local, state, national, and international organizations. Our official hygiene partners for the campaign were PeeSafe.

Animal Welfare
30th Aug to 5th Sept 2021
The 7-Day Plan included :
I.) Feeding drive on all seven days-
We visited 10 localities of Aurangabad each day, to feed all stray dogs we find there. These locations have been chosen due to the enormous number of doggies found there.
2.) Treatment of the sick, wounded and injured dogs by veterinary doctors.
Our team was in constant touch with various veterinary doctors and would report immediately in case we find a wounded doggie. If needed, the dogs were carried to the nearest animal hospital and youthika would be bearing the entire cost of treatment/surgery.
3.) Virtual Adoption
We have connected with various organisations who provide this facility. You don't need to bring the pet home, but you can still pay for them, even on a monthly basis. educating people on what virtual adoption is the most important aspect of this segment.
Masks Donation
Oct 2020
During this pandemic, as we appreciate the efforts of the doctors, let's not forget about the rest of the hospital staff. They are warriors too, helping us. In these troubled times, they've stood by us, risked their lives, and even sacrificed them for our well-being. We don’t want the safety and health of the sweepers, nurses, and other workers in hospitals to be compromised so we've donated 10000 masks to them.
Environmental Conservation
Introducing CONSERVE ~our promise to the environment.
* As the first drive of Conserve, this world clean-up day we collected 300 kgs of waste (Plastic bottles- 17 kgs, Plastic wrappers- 150 kgs Glass bottles- 110 kgs, Other waste- 23 kgs) from different locations of Aurangabad. We, along with the Cyclist Foundation Aurangabad, planted over 200 plants over the past two weekends at various locations in Aurangabad.

Christmas
December 2020
Team Youthika wishes you a Merry Christmas!🎄
We've gifted children that are less fortunate than us with these little goodie packs, which have winter essentials like beanies and lots of chocolates! Our team visited 2 child orphanages on Christmas, becoming the Secret Santa for those kids! They also spent some time with them, and we surely look forward to visiting these cute little beans! We weren't allowed to click pictures, but we assure you that we had lots of fun and these kids were filled with love and laughter when we left!
Grains Bank
December 2020
We donated 200kgs of rice to the poor, as the first segment of our Grains Bank, rice donation. Reportedly, there was so much rush that pictures could be taken at only a few spots! The smile that appeared on their faces, their trembling hands that showed us blessings, and the new hope that sparkled in their hearts; we're so happy we could help them. These moments and memories are irreplaceable.
Special thanks to Mrs. Shobha Kiran Nahar for making this campaign a reality.

Old Age Home
At Youthika, we believe in doing more than just spending time with our elders. That's why we came up with a unique plan to make our visit truly special. We started by distributing useful items like vitamins, nutrition tablets, and other essentials to help boost their immunity. Then, we spent time getting to know each person and their specific needs so we can help provide for them in our next visit.
But that's not all! We also conducted fun and exciting activities for everyone to participate in. Each grandma and grandpa had the chance to showcase their talent or tell us something special about themselves. And to top it all off, we brought along some delicious lunch to share during lunchtime. It was a heartwarming event that brought smiles to everyone's faces. We can't wait to continue making a difference in our community, one visit at a time.
