Dhananjay Kumar
Junior Goodwill Ambassador of the Jal Mitra Campaign — a young crusader for water conservation.
About Dhananjay
Raised by water, devoted to it.
Dhananjay Kumar is a student of Amity International School, Delhi, who grew up immersed in the cause of water — its value, its scarcity, and its protection.
That early environment of water-related activities shaped his outlook from a young age. Today he channels that upbringing into action as an active crusader for water conservation, carrying the message that every drop saved is a drop earned for the generations to come.
As Junior Goodwill Ambassador of the Jal Mitra Campaign, he speaks to peers, communities, and leaders alike — proving that meaningful advocacy has no minimum age.

Educate
Spreading awareness among students and communities, because lasting change begins with understanding.

Showing that a child's voice can reach the world's biggest stages — and move people to act.
