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 Brahmdev Mahto from Indore, Madhya Pradesh — originally from a small village in Bihar — who became a Youth Ambassador in 2019.

Facing financial hardships at home, his elder brother placed him in a Child Care Institution (CCI) in Madhya Pradesh in 2014, hoping he would receive proper care and education there. The transition wasn’t easy, but over time, through consistent support, especially life skills education and leadership training, Brahmdev started to gain both confidence and purpose.

Since becoming a Youth Ambassador, Brahmdev has led several awareness campaigns on child rights, protection, and education, drawing from his own experiences. He has conducted street plays, designed posters, and spoken at youth events, while mentoring younger children from his CCI, especially during their transition out of care. His efforts to uplift others stem from his own lived experience and belief that every child deserves the right environment to grow and thrive.

Now pursuing his 12th Grade studies, Brahmdev lives independently in Indore while freelancing as a video editor and growing as a graphic designer. With a deep passion for visual storytelling, Brahmdev hopes to collaborate with like-minded creators on meaningful digital campaigns, and plans to continue using his skills as a video editor to tell powerful stories of youth like him to inspire others.

From struggle to strength, Brahmdev’s journey shows that every young person has the potential to lead — when they’re backed by care, opportunity and belief — highlighting the collective responsibility we all share to nurture that potential.
