Pravah

Initiated in 1993, PRAVAH is an NGO that works to build leadership for social change with young people. Over the last 20 years, we have developed a deep understanding & a unique perspective on youth development embodied by the concept of the 5th space. Traditionally, there are 4 socially legitimized spaces in a young person’s life: family, friends, livelihoods & leisure. The 5th space builds leadership skills of young people; skills that will help them to learn more about themselves, to build meaningful relationships,& to impact the world around them. The 5th space invests as much on personal transformation as it does on social transformation. While impacting society, young people also get impacted and it is these moments in a young person’s life that, if facilitated properly, hold the potential to become truly transformative experiences. Moreover, the 5th space makes the other 4 count too! A young person who belongs to a 5th space would not only be an active citizen, but also a caring family member,
