Miracle Foundation India’s Youth Ambassadors, drawn from Child Care Institutions (CCIs) and local communities, play a vital role in raising awareness about the importance of a family for every child and driving meaningful impact. This month, we celebrate Loudya Chowhan Somnath Nayak from Telangana who joined our Youth Ambassadors’ Program in January 2024.

Originally from the Lambada tribe in Telangana, Somnath faced the heartbreaking loss of his parents at the age of seven. He found support and care in a CCI where he was subsequently raised. Currently pursuing a B.Sc. in Nursing and gaining hands-on experience as an Operation Technician intern at Agur Prime Hospital, Mahabubnagar, Somnath is deeply committed towards making a lasting difference in his tribal community.

Somnath’s commitment to social change is deeply rooted in his personal journey and empathy for children at his CCI, which over a period of time evolved into broader community outreach initiatives. He has previously conducted impactful training sessions on sexual and reproductive health, and gender equality. Also associated as an intern with the Shri Ram Charitable Trust, Hyderabad, Somnath facilitates sessions on gender equality in government high schools.

As a Youth Ambassador, Somnath is eager to enhance his skills, particularly in communication. He is determined to inspire and mobilize youth from his area, encouraging them to stand up for their rights. His dedication to creating a more informed, empowered community is a testament to his belief in the power of education and collective action.
