Enactus is an international non-profit organisation dedicated to inspiring students to improve the world through entrepreneurial action. It aims at providing a platform for university students to build community development projects that help harness people’s ingenuous talent and improve their livelihood. Having expanded to over 30 countries and more than 1,700 universities, Enactus is also making its inroads in major colleges of India. Under its project “Patradya”, the team has taught a community of Afghan refugee women the process of making edible utensils. However, with the help of online crowd-funding campaigns and fund-raising sales, the project managed to get an encouraging kickstart.
