About Inventaid
I started in Inventaid in January of 2024 because I was tired of reading about how children are trapped in a never-ending cycle of poverty. According to the United Nations, one out of five children worldwide lives in extreme poverty—meaning they don’t have access to basic health care, education, food, and shelter. That shouldn’t be the case when, according to UBS, the global wealth will rise by 38% in the next five years.
But I don’t just want to write about it—I want to do something about it. So, I started profiling change-makers helping humanity so that I could come up with my own ways to help.
Join me as we highlight working solutions so I can help those in need. Together, let's dive into the world of game-changing ideas that make a real impact. ~Yana Bijoor, Stuyvesant High School
