On a mission to reduce suicidal despair

Samuel Reddy’s foundation has so far talked 170 people out of ending their lives

Eda Samuel Reddy is on a mission to prevent suicides, especially among the youth, by engaging them in dialogue and helping them snap out of suicidal thoughts.

“Suicides and suicide attempts have a ripple effect that impacts families, friends, colleagues, communities and societies. Many of them can be prevented at the individual, community and society levels,” says Mr. Samuel, who has been relentlessly working to prevent people from resorting to the extreme step through awareness activities by Spandana Eda International Foundation (SEIF).
