Prerna Srivastava

Prerna Srivastava graduated from Bryn Mawr College with a BA in Political Science and Education, and worked for two years in corporate law and management upon graduation. Realizing that her passion lay in international development, however, Prerna left her job, and pursued a one year Indicorps Fellowship with SEWA Rural, where she facilitated the formation of self help groups (SHGs) for women and girls in rural Gujarat, India. This grassroots development experience, in combination with her prior work as a sex workers’ rights advocate with Point of View, reaffirmed Prerna’s belief in women’s latent potential to uplift their families and communities from poverty. With this underlying philosophy in mind, Prerna hopes to one day return to rural India in order to establish social and economic empowerment programs for underprivileged women and girls. For now, however, Prerna is pursuing her graduate degree at the Harvard Kennedy School, as well as working as a consultant for ClickDiagnostics, which has the mission of integrating health and mobile technology for the betterment of health outcomes in developing countries.
