Our Success Stories
cYAAG empowers corporations, social organizations, educational institutions, governments, and individuals to turn their goals into meaningful action through campaigns known as YAAGs. By bringing together thousands of students, professionals, and changemakers, these initiatives drive collective action, advance the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and create measurable social and environmental impact.
Here are a few examples of the impact we have created together.
Future-Ready Children
Through the Future-Ready Children campaign, individuals, teams, alumni, and organizations come together to support 10,000 schools across India by sponsoring digital learning opportunities for an entire year with just $1 a day. The initiative aims to reach 5 million students by providing digital learning programs, teacher development resources, student assessments, certifications, and free, open-source educational content. With access to technology and learning resources in English and 22 Indian languages, the campaign empowers students with essential digital skills, supports teachers, and creates pathways to future education and employment opportunities.
Internet for Disaster Preparedness
We conducted a disaster preparedness campaign with funding from the Internet Society Foundation, supporting IEEE India in providing internet access to 200 villages in Karnataka, Kerala, and Bihar. IEEE India Philanthropy equipped 200 schools with digital tools and solar UPS systems, and trained 750 locals for internet maintenance, empowering communities with connectivity, knowledge, and a brighter future.
No Plastic Campaigns
With corporate sponsorship and support from social organizations, we ran campaigns where professionals and students trained others, with each changemaker adopting a school to teach hundreds of children (grades 1-8) about reducing plastic use through illustrated materials, presentations, and interactive activities like coloring and message writing.
Clean-up Drives
We organize Clean-up Drives in various locations, engaging professionals, students, and their families to make a tangible difference in their communities. These drives help clean public spaces, raise awareness about sustainability and waste management, and inspire eco-friendly practices, fostering a sense of responsibility and unity for a lasting environmental impact.
UBLOOD
Unite to Save Lives
UBLOOD bridges the gap between blood donors and recipients with real-time efficiency, seamlessly connecting those in urgent need of blood with willing donors, revolutionizing access to this life-saving resource. Through our campaign, we utilized advanced technology to streamline communication, reduce response times, and enhance access to life-saving
blood donations.
Become a Champion of WHEELS
WHEELS Global Foundation offers technology-enabled solutions to address six major global challenges: clean drinking WATER, scalable HEALTHCARE delivery, renewable ENERGY, access to EDUCATION, rural LIVELIHOOD, and SUSTAINABILITY. With our tagline, "Applying Technology to Scale the Impact of Philanthropy," we leverage IIT alumni expertise to drive meaningful change. We invite IIT alumni, professionals, and students to join us as Champions of WHEELS!
Conservation of Marine Biology
The aim of this global campaign was to educate and engage students in activities related to the protection and preservation of marine life and ecosystems. By involving thousands of school children across three states in India, the campaign raised awareness about the importance of conserving marine environments and inspired the younger generation to take an active role in environmental protection.
Earth Day Art Contests
We strongly believe that art is a powerful medium of inspiration and can be used to:
1) Fight against plastic pollution,
2) Save animals affected by climate change, plastics, predatory invasions, and habitat loss, and 3) Combat pollution, protect oceans, preserve forests, and address global warming and floods. To raise awareness about these issues, we conducted Earth Day art contests with school and college students.
Women in Engineering Mentorship Program
Both men and women engineering professionals are sought to mentor students who have won IEEE Women in Engineering Scholarships. Mentoring these students helps shape the future of engineering and promotes a more diverse and inclusive industry.
