With a passion to make a difference in the country of his Origin, Praveen Rao, after living and working in Canada for 12 years returned to India and founded an NGO in 2012 by the name of ‘Champions of Positive Change’ (CPC). His vision was to make bring a positive change in society.
From 2018 onwards CPC collaborated with Anant Ehsaas Foundation (AEF), a registered NGO, and together CPC and AEF organised various community events such as Blood Donation Camp, Clothes donation camp, Blanket donation drives, tree plantation drives and many other community-related initiatives.
In the last 10 years CPC and AEF have organised various clothes donation drives and passed on the collected clothing items to recognised NGO’s, however this year the volunteers of the NGO supported by Praveen Rao decided to manage the distribution themselves and give directly to the needy people of Vasant Kunj. Hence a massive clothes donation drive was organised over a month, where over 5000 clothing items were collected and from Vasant Kunj and nearby areas. These donated items were first sorted to ensure that the clothes are in good condition, further, they were washed/dry cleaned where needed and nicely packed to be donated.
