WeDidIT: Cultivating Compassion and Leadership Through Volunteering

In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, Sree Krishna Seelam, a visionary social entrepreneur, launched WeDidIT Foundation, a youth-centric non-profit based in Vijayawada, India.

Despite starting with just seven volunteers operating from a residence within a containment zone, WeDidIT experienced explosive growth. This remarkable progress culminated in WeDidIT being honored with the Economic Times Award for Excellence in Social Entrepreneurship in 2021—a testament to its lasting impact .

WeDidIT's ethos is deeply rooted in the belief that volunteering is not just an act of service but a path to personal transformation and leadership.

During the pandemic lockdown, volunteers were encouraged to feed birds or animals at home, share photos on social media, and tag friends—creating a ripple effect of simple acts of kindness. startupindiamagazine.com

Another notable initiative involved youth interviewing senior citizens (75+) in their circles, compiling responses and videos. These intergenerational exchanges fostered empathy, wisdom, and strengthened bonds between generations .

Beyond localized projects, WeDidIT aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals—addressing issues such as No Poverty, Quality Education, Gender Equality, Clean Water and Sanitation, and Climate Action, among others . The foundation’s deeper mission is to cultivate volunteers into empathetic, purpose-driven leaders who carry the spirit of service beyond any single initiative . rebelmindset.blogspot.com

With the rallying cry, “To leave this planet a better place than it was before we arrived,” WeDidIT extends an open invitation to individuals of all walks of life—students, professionals, artists, and activists—to join a movement rooted not in perfection, but in shared humanity and purposeful action.
