Our Youth Social Community (OYSC) was conceived with the vision of enriching the lives of underprivileged children, young adults, senior citizens, and Read more individuals with physical or mental challenges in India. Guided by the tagline "we rise by helping others," the Trust is dedicated to addressing key concerns faced by women, youth, daily wage labourers, and the homeless. Originating as an initiative led by 17-year-old Rohan Pappu, later joined by his younger brother Sohan Pappu in 2016, OYSC began with a noble concept, sparked by inspiration and driven by a young man's sincere desire to make a positive impact on the world. Rohan Pappu, after spending much of his childhood exploring small villages in Southern India, witnessed the struggles and hardships faced by individuals in their daily lives. Upon completing his 10th standard, Rohan became acutely aware of the systemic injustices prevalent in Indian society. Driven by passion and a commitment to effect change, he initiated efforts to raise awareness among government officials about the challenges faced by villagers, intending to develop solutions. OYSC emerged as an organization where like-minded individuals could come together to exchange ideas and formulate plans for community change. The initial campaigns focused on issues such as poverty, health, and environmental concerns. As Rohan pursued further education, his younger brother Sohan, at the age of 15, registered the Trust under the Indian Trusts Act,1882, and assumed the role of Vice Chairman of OYSC, continuing the organization's impactful work. Since then, OYSC has experienced exponential growth, gaining national recognition as a formal NGO. The vision expanded to encompass women's rights and education. Through the dedication of the Pappu brothers, along with the support of volunteers and donors, OYSC aspires to create a brighter, united future for all of India. OYSC, with the assistance of its volunteers, has conducted numerous campaigns in Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh, addressing issues like awareness, food distribution, educational classes, healthcare, and providing basic needs to the impoverished. All expenses incurred during these campaigns are self-funded by the pocket money given by their parents. The Trust's current main objective revolves around menstruation. Its objectives include improving public health conditions, educating people about health and sanitation, empowering women, providing medical healthcare facilities, promoting education, assisting the physically handicapped, and rendering aid during natural calamities. Additionally, OYSC targets Covid-19 emergency relief, women empowerment, health, environmental issues, and education in its ongoing efforts to create a positive impact on society.

Programs

  • Menstrual hygiene awareness

    A significant majority of Indian women resort to using old cloth strips or leaves during their menstrual cycle due to the unavailability of sanitary napkins. This practice can lead to vaginal irritation, infections, and potential health risks, particularly for women who lack access to proper feminine hygiene products.
    Recognizing this urgent need, OYSC took initiative to raise awareness about reproductive health and enhance the affordability of sanitary napkins for economically disadvantaged women in rural India. Collaborating with the NGO, Sujana Chowdhary Charitable Trust, OYSC facilitated the production of affordable sanitary napkins, priced at 4 INR each. These sanitary napkins are made accessible to women across all economic backgrounds.
    Furthermore, OYSC actively engaged in educating women about their menstrual cycles and imparting hygienic practices to safeguard personal health.

  • Independence Day celebrations

    Independence Day brings sheer delight to schoolchildren, as they eagerly anticipate a day filled with festivities. The joy of attending school on this occasion is shared through celebrations featuring chocolates, candies, biscuits, dances, dramas, and various other forms of entertainment.
    However, amidst the revelry, there lies a consideration for the children in the slums who are unable to afford attending school. OYSC firmly believes that everyone, regardless of their status, income, or background, should partake in the jubilation of commemorating our nation's freedom.
    OYSC volunteers dedicate this day to spending time with the less fortunate community, aiming to spread happiness, joy, and a sense of unity among these children who might not have access to formal education. Witnessing the radiant smiles on these children's faces is a testament to the impact of such efforts.
