From Simple Acts to Social Change | Ayush Jain | TEDxMoulsari Avenue
At just 17, Aayush Jain planted the seed of what would grow into Teens of God, a youth-driven NGO that’s transforming lives in communities across Gurugram. What began as eight teenagers with a shared dream of “doing something for society” has evolved into a powerful movement impacting thousands — from education programs for underprivileged children to sanitary health drives, road safety awareness, and animal welfare initiatives. In this talk, Aayush shares how small, consistent efforts — collecting ₹200 a month, teaching kids in a park after school, and building trust in the community — turned into a platform of hope and action. Through his story, he uncovers the hidden logic of the ordinary: that when passion meets persistence, even the simplest actions can ripple into extraordinary change. His journey is a testament to the power of youth, the strength of community, and the belief that every effort truly counts.
