Social Changemakers and Innovators (Sochai)

the social changemakers and innovators (sochai) is a youth led organization formed with an aim to inform and empower women, girls and grass-root communities through advocacy, education, innovation and entrepreneurship related to health and nutrition. the unique aspect of the sochai - youth for nutrition project is our innovative educational tool “nutribeads bracelet”. each bead in the nutribeads bracelet has a specific meaning. the numbers correspond to child’s age, ranging from six, nine, 12 to 24 months. the colors indicate the type of food the child should be given. through this innovation, we educate communities about proper nutrition practices to prevent malnutrition and contribute in achieving the sustainable development goals. we are also promoting social business by involving local artisans in making the bracelets and help them find a way out of poverty and malnutrition.
