About Us

The Social Changemakers and Innovators (SOCHAI) is an award-winning, youth-led nonprofit founded in 2017. Driven by young women leaders, SOCHAI is dedicated to improving health, nutrition, and the socio-economic well-being of communities, particularly women, children, and girls, through education, innovation, and entrepreneurship at the grassroots level.

We believe that access to simple, affordable health and nutrition solutions can prevent the devastating consequences of malnutrition and poor health. Guided by this mission, SOCHAI engages communities through youth-led, locally partnered programs that contribute to achieving Sustainable Development Goals: 2 (Zero Hunger), 3 (Good Health and Well-being), 4 (Quality Education), 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation), and 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth).

Our pioneering approach includes the Volunteers Program (V-Program) and impactful, low-tech wearable tools like Nutribeads, the Redcycle Bracelet, and the Anti-Anemia Bracelet – initiatives recognized by global organizations such as UNICEF, the Gates Foundation, UNESCO, CNBC and BBC. Together, we’re fostering sustainable change for a healthier future.

Our Mission

To support women, children and girls reach their full potential in life by improving their intergenerational well-being through community engagement and youth leadership.
