Our Journey

A Story of
Small Steps

It all started with three kids, Mithra Prakasan, Bhrithi Khatri, and Hrutu Biradar, who became friends in primary school. They shared a desire to become entrepreneurs and make a positive impact on their community.

Their journey together commenced in Grade 3 when they established the Rubbish Club at Alamanda K-9 College. During their breaks, they dedicated their time to cleaning the school premises, quickly garnering support from more than 30 volunteers.

In 2023, while moving to different schools, they continued to meet regularly to brainstorm ideas. They embarked on crafting Loom bands, selling them to friends and at various events to raise money for charity.

With the guidance of mentors and the addition of Haran Prakasan to manage technology and marketing, they formalized their initiative into a not-for-profit incorporated association. Their primary goal is to support disadvantaged children in developing nations, where even small funds can make a substantial difference.
