Rubaroo
Rubaroo means coming face-to-face. Rubaroo is a Hyderabad based organization that works with young people. Our area of intervention is to build social leadership skills with and among young people to construct a just and equitable society. Rubaroo endeavours to initiate a journey of self- discovery that breaks the barriers within and unleashes an individual’s hidden potential. Once within this journey, one can lead towards change in self and the society by taking informed decisions for the betterment of all. Each young person who is equipped with this life-skill will be able to contribute to the society by being a responsible and active citizen.
