Background

About Nithya Serasinghe

From a young age, I've always been interested in development and humanitarian work, aimed especially at children. I have worked on development projects in South Asia focused on early-childhood development, public health, and livelihood development. I am currently working on a research project aimed at diminishing socioeconomic disparities in children’s diets. World hunger, children, and sustainability are a few of my foremost interests. I fear for a world full of humans, but less humanity. I worry about children who are deprived of a childhood. I believe in a future in which quality life, clean water, enough food, and education are not privileges, but rights of every human and my passion is to contribute to achieving that future I believe in. I love to read and travel. You can find me taking road trips or wandering in old cities in my free time.
