Yash Sehrawat Bio

Greetings! I am Yash Sehrawat, hailing from New Delhi, India, and I've dedicated my life to making a positive impact on the world. In 2014, I initiated the 'Step4Change' campaign with a group of underprivileged children. Since then, our efforts have touched the lives of over 15,000 individuals across seven countries, including India, Indonesia, Italy, Ghana, Singapore, Slovakia, and the United Kingdom. Our network has expanded to include approximately 1300 passionate volunteers, all united in our mission to address critical issues such as climate change, gender inequality, and universal access to education.
