Street Cause is a non-partisan, non-profit organization (NGO) founded in 2009 by Akhilesh Jukareddy. The non-profit’s slogan, “A life without cause, is a life without an effect,” highlights the foundation’s desire to establish positive impacts towards underdeveloped, underprivileged regions of society. Street Cause strives for societal awareness in five departments: education, environment, old age, social impact, and women empowerment.

Our Story
Street Cause was created by Akhilesh Jukareddy and his associates, Md. Akhil, Karthik Sutrave, Mitesh Lohiya, Raj Kiran, Yeshwanth Goturu, Nihar Kohirkar, and Snigdha Thalapally. It’s first division started at Sreenidhi Institute of Science and Technology. Street Cause’s social welfare projects have helped renovate orphanages, schools, and underdeveloped old age homes in Hyderabad, India. The non-profit has gone on to complete over 7000 tasks catered towards social welfare throughout the past several years.

They received the Excellence for Outstanding Community Service Award in June 2010, presented by the then Chief Minister of Andra Pradesh, Sri. Kiran Kumar Reddy. They have since branched into three different departments, exploring ways to promote environmental awareness through Eforce and providing a platform for members outside of the student community through Street Cause Gold.

Street Cause Divisions
Street Cause aspires to intellectually empower undergraduates and postgraduates towards social welfare. It started with five divisions and expanded to 45+ different campuses. The organization has an active workforce of 5000+ students, making it the largest student-run NGO in Hyderabad. Each division has its own Facebook page, detailing their upcoming events, expenditures, venues, and contact information. As of 2019, SC divisions have supplied basic amenities to underdeveloped regions; hosted fundraising events; recruited students; implemented projects towards environmental change; and have had a high impact on government schools, education, large projects, etc.

E-force
Street Cause has established Eforce clubs in 20 different schools since its inception in 2012. Each Eforce division develops eco-friendly projects to foster a cleaner, healthier environment. It is currently the organization’s most popular section.

Every year, the wing adopts a fresh, environmentally compliant theme. Eforce events are accommodated to fit the year’s theme—allowing the organization to advocate for change in several environmental issues. For example, 2015-2016’s mission was to “reduce, reuse, and recycle;” 2016-2017’s mission was to promote bottle gardening and roof gardening; 2017-2018’s mission was to encourage using cloth/jute bags over plastic ones.

Street Cause Gold
Street Cause Gold was created to extend the organization’s platform to SC members outside of the student community (graduates, engineers, doctors, teachers, entrepreneurs, etc). This particular wing of Street Cause opens its arms to all sectors of society, allowing anyone to participate in their service projects. It is currently the organization’s youngest branch.

Solar Power Generating Systems in Schools
Street Cause benefited Kasturba Gandhi College students by setting up a solar power generating system on campus. The panels can supply enough electricity to power the school throughout an entire year—simultaneously running appliances during the daytime and providing seven hours of battery backup every night. All 22 classrooms rely on solar power energy without depending on external sources.

Hellen Keller Institute for the Deaf and Dumb
Hellen Keller Institute provides educational facilities and rehabilitation services to children with disabilities. Street Cause aided students of the institute by supplying them with chalkboards and a commercial RO water purifier.

Jallepalli Primary Schools
The village has little to no basic water facilities to allocate to the primary school. Therefore, Street Cause members installed a motor to the bore well, added a water tank in the school, and provided a water purifier for proper filtration. Students no longer had to walk long distances to get drinking water.
