Celebrating Graduation

Seven Fellows from the 2023 I’mPossible cohort graduated in 2025, completing a two-year journey of leadership and service. Each mentored 25 peers, supporting them across health, education, gender awareness, and livelihood. The graduation ceremony celebrated their growth as young leaders ready to inspire others.

Footprints 2025

Footprints Run 2025 marked the fourth edition of our annual community run, an event rooted in movement and meaning. This year, 1,128 participants came together, including 338 children from institutions and schools across Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, making it one of our most inclusive and joyful gatherings yet.

Story Telling Workshop

Creativity took centre stage during a six-day storytelling workshop at Navasanidhya Girls’ Home in Bijapur. Led by Pratya Poosala and Sahana, thirteen girls strengthened their writing skills and confidence to share their voices. By the end, each had written and illustrated her own story, creating a personal booklet of her experiences.

Learning About Learning

Our piece just got published! An article written by RISHI Foundation in collaboration with Bindu Thirumalai on the Learning to Learn workshop was published in the Teacher Plus magazine. The workshop, held for our youth in February this year, offered practical tools to enhance the learning process - such as SMART goals and journaling for reflection.
