Today’s Story of Change comes from the programme that we offer to college students - The ACTiZENS’ Collective.

A group of students from St. Xavier’s College, Mapusa, Goa worked to revive neglected wells in Aldona village. With the panchayat’s support, they surveyed the community and submitted a request for water testing, chlorination, and maintenance.

Impact: Directorate of Health Services, Panjim, stepped in, marking a significant step towards restoring vital water sources.

This story is a reminder that when young citizens engage with the intent to find solutions, even overlooked systems begin to respond.
