When one woman enters the formal workforce, she creates a ripple effect of change for future generations. This Women’s Day, we honour their agency, ambition and action. #IWD2026 #InternationalWomensDay #BankofDoing

Over 4,300+ young people have secured employment, more than 70% of whom were women. Agency and confidence open doors to employment, creating lasting impact not just for women, but also for their families and communities.

This Women’s Day, we celebrate young women who are stepping into the formal workforce, many for the first time in their families! Since 2022, Quest Alliance and @WellsFargo have partnered to build skills, confidence and career pathways for women from marginalised communities.

Today, on International Women’s Day, we celebrate and honour the many ways in which women shape the world around us - especially across classrooms and learning spaces. Today, and every day, we celebrate all the women who are building futures for themselves and their communities!

Looking forward to joining @questalliance for Green Futures—empowering youth in Northeast India to lead place-based, nature-driven pathways forward. #GreenFutures #NortheastIndia #GreenCareers #YouthLeadership #QuestAlliance #YouthNet #YNnagaland #YouthNetNagaland

February 28th is National Science Day in India! Today, we celebrate the curiosity we see in classrooms and communities every day. Curiosity, along with hands-on learning, access to digital tools, and opportunities nurtures young learners to solve real-world problems.

Presenting at the Skill India stall at the India AI Impact Summit 2026, Ayush from Quest Alliance is showcasing a youth-centric research initiative that maps how young people understand social media, algorithms, AI and digital advertisements. The findings led to a Youth Charter co-created and authored by students from government schools and government ITIs, expressing their vision for a caring and responsible AI-driven future. Explore how youth voices are shaping technology with Skill India.

“I built an induction motor for the first time & was wondering if it was this easy all along,” says Manoj , a graduate of ITI Visveswaranagar. At the ITI, his curiosity turned into learning. Stories like his remind us what happens when passion is supported with skills.

At #IFRC2026, Quest Alliance will bring The Possibilists cards to life in “The Human Behind the Grant: A Not-So-Serious Workshop”, inviting participants to explore the people, patterns, and possibilities behind every grant. Register for the workshop - ifrc.indialeadersforsocialsector.com/agenda-new/

This set of persona cards is designed to help teams recognise and reflect on these patterns. It invites you to see funder relationships not as transactions to manage, but as partnerships where one plus one can create something more.

We’re launching The Possibilists – Exploring How Partnerships Shape Possibility at The India Fundraising Conference, a unique platform that celebrates fundraising as critical to social impact and fundraisers as true drivers of change. #QuestAlliance #IFRC #Fundraising

As we wrap up a week of reflecting on International Day of Education & sharing the voices of youth. At Quest Alliance, we hope to build a future where every young person has access to inclusive, equitable, future-ready education & that they feel empowered to choose their futures.

In a time when opportunities feel out of reach and the future is shaped by forces like AI, climate change and outdated education systems, young people are grappling with more than just career choices. They know what they need, when we listen. Watch now: youtu.be/d2t9N5Cc1lg?si…

Meet Yashaswini, from Hoskote, Karnataka. Her curiosity, fuelled by technology & social change, led her to build the Unified Identity App, designed to track school dropouts & help them return to education. When young people are trusted to imagine, they co-create their future.
