Welcome to SCALING IMPACT, where we interview social innovators: people who make it their life’s mission to work for the betterment of others. They are the changemakers, the fearless, the compassionate, and the large-hearted individuals who also know how to scale up.
In this episode, we speak with Pooja Rai, founder & CEO of Anthill Creations, a nonprofit that makes play accessible and affordable for all kids by building low-cost, sustainable playgrounds made from scrap tires and industrial waste. In just five years, they have built around 300 playgrounds, impacting over 200,000 children in 18 states across India, and have recently scaled to build roughly 30 playgrounds every month.
Created by Babson College MBA student Arushi Jain, this initiative is supported by Lewis Institute for Social Innovation's Inventureship program, which helps students invent their own social innovation projects using Entrepreneurial Thought & Action® to accelerate social and economic impact.
