Why not integrate your entrepreneurial skills with needs of the society? You would have always applauded philanthropic works of Indian conglomerate, Tata Group, ever thought of adding your name to that honorable list? This is your turn.
Here we come with the first idea, and you are free to adjust, personalize it.
On a car or a bike or while travelling by bus, you must have encountered children who beg on crowded streets when the lights turn red; they are usually referred to as street children.
The irony is that although governments at central, state and local levels run multiple programs focused on the wellbeing of children, thous ands of young ones find no place other than roads to spend their days and no food other than leftover to overcome their hunger. Is this not an untapped opportunity, may be not as lucrative as ecommerce, but still!
There isn’t a ready plan, a foolproof and end-to-end one, which we can or will take about. The gist is that there lie ample prospects in making the milieu good for these so-called children of the street.
What should be the framework like?
Why not connect these although visible yet concealed kids with organizations, private as well as government, which can rehabilitate their lives and provide them with a new and bright beginning?
And that doesn’t call for any extraordinary measures. You have that fire within you to make an application, web or mobile, then what about building it in such a manner that any person who comes across street children can upload their pictures and the notification then can alert the authorities? That is a simple job, but a genuine shot in the arm.
You can get millions of likes and shares for a cute laughing child’s video, what about getting just hundred or a few thous and condemnations for pictures of begging, vulnerable kids?
Let’s wish you luck if you could connect with the idea, just refine, retune it, may be upside down, the motive, however, shouldn’t change – let us clear all roads of street children and bring them into the mainstream!
