“Save Childhood Save Future”
To create a society that respects children's dignity, justice, and equity, enabling them to be happy, healthy, and creative.
Santhosh Bogam, the founder of our esteemed
NGO, has an inspiring journey that exemplifies resilience, determination,
and compassion. Born into a challenging environment, Santhosh's childhood
was marked by hardships and struggles. Growing up as a child laborer, he
experienced first-hand the injustices faced by underprivileged children in
society. However, his indomitable spirit and unwavering belief in the
transformative power of education sparked a flame within him to bring about
change.
Santhosh's life took a pivotal turn when he received an opportunity to
pursue higher education at the prestigious Roda Mistry College of Social
Work in Hyderabad. It was within the walls of this institution that he
discovered his true calling – to work tirelessly for the betterment of
underprivileged children and provide them with the opportunities he had
longed for during his own formative years.
Armed with knowledge and deep-rooted empathy, Santhosh embarked on his
mission to empower underprivileged children in 2018. With the founding of
our NGO, he set out to create a platform that would address the educational,
social, and economic disparities that hinder the growth and development of
marginalized children.
Santhosh's relentless pursuit of justice and his determination to raise
awareness about child labor became evident in 2019 when he and his team
orchestrated a groundbreaking motorcycle campaign against child labor in
India. This pioneering initiative was the first of its kind in the country,
attracting widespread attention and igniting a national conversation about
the urgent need to end child labor.
The MotorCycle campaign was a powerful symbol of resistance and hope, as
Santhosh and his team embarked on a journey across citi es and villages,
raising awareness about the grave consequences of child labor. Through
engaging discussions, public forums, and impactful storytelling, they
educated communities about the importance of providing children with access
to education, protection, and a nurturing environment.
The campaign successfully captured the nation's attention, galvanizing
support from individuals, communities, and influential figures. It served as
a wake-up call, inspiring many to join the cause and contribute to the
movement to eliminate child labor in India.
Since the Motorcycle campaign, People Helping Children has continued to
spearhead numerous initiatives that address the root causes of child labor
and create a conducive environment for underprivileged children to thrive.
Through innovative programs, PHC has worked tirelessly to provide quality
education, healthcare, and holistic support to vulnerable children,
empowering them to break free from the chains of exploitation.
Under Santhosh's dynamic leadership, PHC has not only impacted the lives of
countless children but has also been instrumental in influencing policies
and advocacy efforts at local and national levels. By collaborating with
like-minded organizations, engaging with government agencies, and harnessing
the power of grassroots activism, Santhosh and his team have been effective
agents of change, fostering a society that cherishes the rights and
well-being of every child.
Santhosh Bogam's journey from a heartbreaking childhood to becoming a
trailblazer in the fight against child labor is a testament to the
transformative power of one individual's determination and compassion.
Through People Helping Children, Santhosh continues to champion the cause of
underprivileged children, leaving an indelible impact on their lives and
shaping a more equitable future for generations to come.
Today, Santhosh Bogam's story serves as an inspiration and a reminder that
one person's determination can create a ripple effect of hope and
empowerment. Through his own journey from a childhood of adversity to
becoming the founder of PHC, Santhosh has exemplified the potential for
positive change, even in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds.
Join us in this inspiring journey, as we stand shoulder to shoulder with
Santhosh and the team at People Helping Children, committed to creating a
world where every child has the opportunity to grow, thrive, and dream
without the shackles of child labour. Together, we can build a society where
no child's potential is wasted, and every child is given the chance to
create a brighter tomorrow.
