From Personal Experience to Global Impact: Charithra's Fight Against TB

How can one young person turn a personal experience into a global movement? In this week's episode, we meet Charithra, a high school student, global health advocate, and founder of TB Kids Central. Inspired by her own experience with tuberculosis, Charithra has worked to make health education more accessible to children while building partnerships and mobilizing young people to address global health challenges. Charithra shares the story behind TB Kids Central, the challenges of leading a youth-founded nonprofit, and the importance of creating solutions that account for systemic inequality. She also reflects on how chess has shaped her approach to problem-solving and leadership, and offers advice for young people who want to turn their ideas into meaningful action.
