To begin with who are social
activists and what do they do?

A social activist is “a person who

works to achieve political or social
change, especially as a member of
an organization with particular
aims.”
The life of an activist
Activists have many hardships in their life when trying to change society for the better.

Let us get a better understanding of an activist’s life by looking at their life story.

I have chosen a activist named Preeti pandey to view the life of an activist.

An exuberant social activist from early college days, Preeti Pandey – the Founder of Dulari Devi
Foundation, always dreamed to uplift education and contributes towards the women welfare.
When she was very young she felt bad for the street children’s and women who were treated as
burden on society.

She addresses education and awareness a concrete substance in building block of society. She
believes the change in society begins with individual effort, and if your cause is good people will
automatically connect.

Born in Varanasi to a reputed family, she was brought-up in luxury and comfort, however, this
never disguised her strong thought to contribute towards society – women and children welfare
and their upliftment.

The life of preeti pandey
“At the mere age of 23 when young aspirants are busy in shaping their carrier, attracted towards high paid job, driven by monetary
satisfaction – she never got distracted from her goal. On completing MBA she backed a job in the posh corporate sector. With the time
her thoughts, goals and determination matured she gave up her posh job to become a full-time activist. It’s a tough decision to take, at
such a tender age. In a short conversation with Preeti – She said it is heavy pains to see children living in an underprivileged
environment and being denied for their basic rights. Her strong wills and determination was her tool and no odd situation stopped her
from focus, she went to the ground to teach children in parks, slam area and public places to provide basic education to kids from
underprivileged society. She also went beyond this to help poverty-stricken people enroll their children in formal schools and, at times,
help the children herself to dress up for the school. With all her capacity, she ardently helps children to avail basic education and still
continuing her journey.

Apart from education, she also works for women to make them aware about their rights and how they can practice it to lead a dignified
life. She has been actively participating in spreading awareness among the underprivileged women about their rights, defending them
against any criminal activity or helping them to develop employable skills to become financially independent. She believes every
woman should have her dignity intact and the society does not have the right to dictate their life.

She has successfully changed the lives of many women and child so far and expecting to come up with more activities.”

Now that you have an understanding of the life of an activist you can see all their hardships and achievements
