When communities lead, they transform their own future. In this edition of Changemakers Season 5 on NDTV, watch how community-led development by UWBe X Alstom is strengthening 'Rural Rising', a flagship campaign of UWBe in creating a transformative change in rural India.
When communities lead, they transform their own future. From strengthening Anganwadis and schools to rejuvenating lakes and empowering persons with disabilities, every initiative is built on one powerful belief - when people learn, earn, and grow, communities rise together.
For 17 years across 17 states, United Way Bengaluru (UWBe) has been enabling this very shift - bringing people, partners, and the local ecosystem together to create change that lasts. Our long-standing CSR partnership with Alstom has further strengthened this mission, helping drive impactful work in education, livelihoods, and climate action.
In this edition of Changemakers Season 5 on NDTV, watch how community-led development is helping children learn better, women gain skills and income, and families build stronger, more resilient futures"
