Project Surya

Project Surya is an internationally recognized non-profit, youth-led initiative started by 15-year-old Future Leader and Diana Awardee, Divaa Uthkarsha, a high school UNSDG3 advocate. We aim to help underprivileged type one diabetic children living in India lead a better quality of life with respect to their diabetes. We work under the 3rd United Nations Sustainable Developmental Goal, Good Health and Well-Being. We want to see a world where juvenile diabetics are free of suffering and accessing insulin is easy and we envision a world where there are fewer deaths due to this chronic condition. Making the treatment affordable, accessible and sustainable. We have a three-pronged action plan consisting of awareness, advocacy and funding. Each of these aspects is extremely quintessential and is a 360-degree approach to solving all inter-connected issues the targetted beneficiaries face. We hold fundraising events, campaigns, awareness sessions, workshops and a whole lot of activities to make a change! We have reached people as of now, and are working on creating much more large-scale impact and sweetening lives! We have raised more than a million indian rupees to sponsor vials of life saving insulin for the t1 diabetic kids coming from remote villages and areas. We have presented at work at multiple international forums including at the 1M1B Summit at the United Nations Headquarters in New York To be a part, visit our linktree and get involved today!
