Ever feel like the world could be a better place if we just did something? That’s exactly how We Did It started. It wasn’t some big corporate initiative or a government scheme—it was just an idea proposed by a student at P.B. Siddhartha College in Vijayawada.
It all started with a spark—an idea to create a social start-up. But when COVID-19 hit, lockdowns happened, and the world went virtual. For a lot of organizations, this would have been the end but Not for We Did It. They didn’t stop. They adapted. They found ways to keep moving forward, and thanks to their incredible volunteers, they started something that’s now so much bigger than anyone could’ve imagined.
From the beginning, they’ve focused on making real changes. Not just temporary fixes, but goals that align with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development.
Ending poverty, ensuring everyone has access to clean water, promoting quality education, tackling climate change... the list goes on. It’s ambitious but every little step counts.
These goals are mentioned in their website and the initiatives taken by the organization to achieve them.
We Did It isn’t just an organization—it’s a movement. And at the heart of it are the volunteers. People like you and me who believe in doing something good.
When you volunteer with We Did It, you’re not just helping others—you’re growing too. You learn leadership skills, build empathy, and get to be part of something that’s genuinely making a difference.
They sit down with senior citizens and learn from their life stories. It’s such a simple yet beautiful way to connect generations. There’s something so inspirational about hearing wisdom from someone who’s lived through decades of ups and downs.
** Inspiration in Pages**
If you’ve ever doubted the power of books, you need to check out what the founder, Sree Krishna Seelam, has written. His first book, 5 Killer Habits – Be a Rebel, is a game-changer for anyone looking to grow and succeed in life. And the profits? They’re funding education for rural girls.
His second book, Indian Law for the Common Man, takes something as intimidating as law and makes it simple, relatable, and accessible. Again, all the money goes back into the organization to keep spreading goodness.
And there’s more to come—two new books are on the way. And just like the first two, they will leave a good impact.
Proof That Good Work Matters
In 2021, We Did It was recognized with the National Award for Excellence in Social Entrepreneurship by The Economic Times. But more than the award, it’s the lives they’ve touched and the difference they’ve made that speaks volumes.
** What About You?**
There’s this line from 5 Killer Habits – Be a Rebel that sums it up perfectly:
“We can earn respect by giving something we have like money and time. Volunteering is one way we serve society. It’s about showing gratitude towards the universe.”
And that is all this organization is. Showing up, helping out, and making things better—not just for ourselves, but for everyone around us.
We Did It. Will you?
