Review for Music Basti, New Delhi, , India
I feel incredibly proud when I see Music Basti. It reaffirms to me that what we've been able to do at The YP Foundation for young people enables them to become their own change makers. Faith has grown tremendously throughout her time with us and I could think of nothing that would make us prouder than Music Basti. TYPF is really happy to support the excellent work that they do. Music Basti staff have a finesse with how the details matter to them. They genuinely care for the communities of children they work with. I think this project has a lot of scope and we're happy to support them!

Review for The YP Foundation, New Delhi, , India
This is one of the few organizations I've seen that young people don't have a passive reaction to. The YP challenges the stereotype that says that urban youth don't care and it provides a very different kind of platform for you to get to know yourself better and also do something for society. What I really liked is how youth led every single process is. These guys work really hard,for them each project is personal. What I liked the most is that TYPF is open to critique. They keep their doors open for young people who feel differently about how work should happen with issues and they are always ready to dialogue. I've seen a lot of youth tear down what they do simply because its an urban group and I think that it's easier to criticize someone else's work instead of helping improve what you don't like or doing it better yourself. My project was not an easy one. We worked with the transgender community and went to colleges doing workshops with students, to get them to identify with the human rights that all transgender people have. I will always remember how scared people where to ask questions and how YP opened a space of conversation that would have happened rarely otherwise. Their training has a strong social change and human rights aspect to it and I think their journey is so commendable. What many people don't know is that they started with nothing. They've raised each and every resource themselves and still continue to do so. Kudos to this youth group that 7 years down the land, is still standing strong. Having worked in it myself, i can appreciate that that's not an easy thing to have done!
