Young people don't just shape trends. They shape each other's choices.

That's the idea behind AstraZeneca's Young Health Programme, implemented by Plan India.

Young peer educators are helping their friends understand the early risk factors for non-communicable diseases and enabling them to make informed choices about their health before unhealthy habits take root.

This International Youth Day, on 12 August, we'll be sharing this programme's journey in Chennai.

Watch this space for more.

For too many girls, periods still come with silence, stigma and missed days of school because they lack accurate information, safe menstrual products and supportive environments.

Through Plan India's Menstrual Hygiene and Health initiatives, we work with adolescents, parents, teachers and communities to improve menstrual health awareness, encourage open conversations and promote safe hygiene practices so that menstruation never becomes a barrier to learning.

When girls have the right information and support, they are more confident managing their periods, staying in school and making informed decisions about their health.

Every conversation that breaks a taboo brings us one step closer to a future where no girl is held back by her period.

Alisha (name changed) set out to earn a degree. Along the way, she found her calling.

After joining Plan India program, she completed a Bachelor of Social Work and earned a scholarship to a professional English language course, travelling nearly 50 kilometres every day to attend classes.

An internship with Plan India turned learning into experience, strengthening her confidence and inspiring her to pursue a career in social development.

Today, she teaches English in the community and encourages other young people to dream bigger. Her journey has also strengthened her family's belief in the power of educating their daughters.

We are pleased to share that Dr Rajni Wadhwa, Director, Programmes, Plan India, presented at the 12th International Conference on Public Health (ICOPH 2026) in Bali, Indonesia.

Her presentation, "Empowering Urban Youth for Non-Communicable Disease Prevention," featured evidence from the Young Health Programme (YHP), demonstrating how youth-led interventions can strengthen health literacy and promote healthier behaviours among adolescents and young people.

We are proud to contribute to the global dialogue on public health through evidence, innovation, and youth leadership.

We also thank AstraZeneca India for its support of the Young Health Programme and its shared commitment to improving the health and well-being of young people.

Mira's (name changed) biggest achievement wasn't scoring 71% in her exams. It was finding the confidence to return to school.

After losing her father, Mira was balancing school with household responsibilities. When a traumatic incident left her feeling unsafe and scared to step outside. Her education came to a standstill.

She restarted studies at a safe learning space - Plan India's Study Learning Centre (SLC).

With steady support of her teacher and encouragement of her mother, Mira slowly rebuilt her confidence. She returned to learning at her own pace, made friends again and rediscovered the joy of being in the classroom.

After joining the Study Learning Centre, Mira passed Grade VI with 59% and later improved to 71% score in the recent examinations. Today, she dreams of topping her class. Sometimes, the greatest impact comes from helping a child believe they can succeed in life even after life has knocked them down.

Enable more children to join safe learning spaces where they can heal, learn and thrive: https://www.planindia.org/donate-now/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=donation_campaign

There are no flood photos in this post.

Not because the flooding isn't real.

Because while images travel fast, people living through disasters are often too busy surviving to document them.

Some are looking for clean drinking water.
Some are trying to find a safe place to sleep.
Some are wondering how they'll feed their children tomorrow.

The absence of a photograph is not the absence of a crisis.

The floods in Assam are still unfolding, and families continue to need urgent support.

Today, we ask you to imagine what no camera can fully capture, then turn that empathy into action.

Your contribution can help provide essential relief to families affected by the floods. Donate today: https://www.planindia.org/donate-to-flood-relief-in-india?utm_source=campaign&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=assam_flood_donation&utm_content=landing_page
