Kiran Sethi: Kids, take charge

Kids, take charge

Kiran Bir Sethi shows how her groundbreaking Riverside School in India teaches kids life's most valuable lesson: "I can." Watch her students take local issues into their own hands, lead other young people, even educate their parents.

Real impact begins when children believe they can shape their world. In Ahmedabad, students transformed from passive learners to active problem-solvers by tackling child labor firsthand, then led citywide movements that closed major streets for play. When empowered, students excel academically and spark civic progress, proving that belief in young people multiplies across communities and cultures.
