LIGHT HomeChildren’s Project collaborates with Design for America and Johns Hopkins University to introduce the power of design thinking. We strive to equip these students from southern India with the skills to combine critical thinking and creativity to bring positive change to their communities and the world.
LIGHT Home Children’s Project is a nonprofit organization in southern India dedicated to ending the cycle of poverty through holistic education. Over 14 years, Shanti Bhavan instills skills empowering each child to lift themselves and their families out of poverty. Beyond academic success, it shapes them into change-making leaders who’ll bring positive global change. Inspired by their potential, Design for America and Johns Hopkins University partnered up with Shanti Bhavan to explore what these remarkable students might be able to do when equipped with human-centered design tools.
