Ten Years of Samaanta: our Journery so far

What began as a humble personal effort to make a difference in the lives of some talented young people has now become a movement that is proving time and time again that it is the lack of opportunity, not ability, that limits the potential of so many fantastic young people. We have a long way to go to help create a more just, equitable, and inclusive system, but we are so very proud of what we have achieved.

In order to celebrate this momentous journey, we are proud to present a video that introduces you to our story.ย We would also like to extend our sincere thanks to our friends, well-wishers, and supporters, without whom we would not be here today. In particular, we dedicate this video to our fellows over the last ten years, who have taught us about love and laughter, hardship and humility, aspirations and ambition, service and leadership. Onwards.
