Neha Gupta's Story

Neha Gupta is an inspiring kid entrepreneurs not just for her business savvy, but for her dedication to social entrepreneurship.

Neha has always participated in a family tradition of celebrating birthdays by traveling to India to bring food and gifts to orphans. And in 2005, 9-year-old Neha decided that she could do more for these children in need. She started selling handmade wine charms door-to-door within her community.

The profits were then used to raise money for education and school books, helping cover schooling expenses for orphans. Neha’s early grassroots efforts are the beginnings of her nonprofit organization, Empower Orphans.

Neha and Empower Orphans has since raised over $2.4 million for orphans, receiving a range of amazing awards along the way.^[9]

Neha started with the desire to make change in the world, and she approached her goal with baby steps. Her social entrepreneurial story teaches everyone that anyone can make a difference in the world, and even the smallest effort can grow to impact others in a huge way.
