Since then, Ma(s)king a Difference has provided over 10,000 masks to volunteers, medical personnel, and other essential community workers. With her team of fellow students, including Executive Board members Nikhil Pasumarthi and Sohum Phadke, Nitya has now connected more than ten chapters worldwide with a passion for making a difference.

Making a difference in your community can start with a single idea. For Nitya Devisetti, it started with something that we’ve been hearing a lot about lately: masks. 

After seeing a need for masks in her community, she founded the non-profit, volunteer-based organization called Ma(s)king a Difference. With the help of volunteers across the globe, she has helped students and community members provide masks for those in need. 

In this episode of Watching Paint Dry, host Greg Owens sits down with the Founder of Ma(s)king a Difference, Nitya Devisetti, and her team. They discuss what motivated them to start and join Ma(s)king a Difference and the learning curves they had to overcome.
