If I could change the world, I would for the better…
1° Initiative is a non-profit organization run by youth leaders for motivating youth-led development in Bangladesh. It started out with a simple mission but with deep beliefs. The mission: make small differences in the lives of people who need help. The belief was to bring together their school friends, communities and those who can, to make changes for individuals so that they can come up with a better community. Small changes in the lives of street children, children who are unable to read, children who don't have the money to afford a simple smile on their faces are the main target groups of this amazing organization. 1° Initiative (1dI) started out in August 2006, by a group of high-schoolers who wanted to give back to their community. So far, 1dI has conducted several projects, notably the selling of CRP artwork cards and Adult Literacy Project. 1dI sold about 150 cards, whose artworks were done by Centre for Rehabilitation of the Paralyzed children.
The Adult Literacy Project was in collaboration with Mastermind Community Service Club (MMCSC) for providing basic education to the helping staff of Mastermind Junior Section (and in future, Middle Section and Senior Section). Basic arithmetic and communicative English, were taught in this 3 month long project and was a huge success.
Apart from these, there were several other projects like providing them with warm clothes during winter, or a simple thing like taking and publishing their picture, which helped the street children to light up their faces. Here are the bright youngsters who initiated 1dI.
1° Initiative is a platform of young , energetic student leaders who want to inform and inspire youth in Dhaka (Bangladesh) and put them on the trajectory of youth-led development. 1d-I is a non-profit organization that aims to make a difference in the lives of young people. These youngsters are passionately interested to craft a change in the country and also motivate others to do the same. This is their effort to turn their dreams into reality. They have named themselves as 'One-Degree Initiative', because of their motto that a small, 1° change can make a huge difference. 1° is all it takes to turn ice into water; 1° is all it takes to revolutionize one's mind - so a 1° change can indeed be the most significant change. 1 is the number of hands they need from each one of you!

Mashallah, it’s good to see Bengalis doing something for their country. We might improve more if only those two women were sent to exile along their party leaders.
