Empowering Communities Through Life-Saving Skills
We teach essential skills that save lives. Join our movement to create safer, more resilient communities around the world.
Our Mission
One Breath Ahead is building a future where no life is lost because of a lack of knowledge. We equip the youth with life saving skills through engaging, age-appropriate education. By shifting healthcare from reaction to prevention, we empower the next generation to act in the moments that matter the most.
Proactive Power
We don't wait for emergencies to teach kids what to do, we prepare them before they happen. Healthcare Heroes is about replacing panic with preparedness, and building a system where prevention isn't an afterthought, it's the foundation.
Youth as First Responders
We believe kids shouldn't be sheilded from responsibility, they should be equipped for it. Our programs turn students into first responders-in-training, empowering them with real skills, real confidence, and real responsibility for the lives around them.
Health Justice
First aid is the great equalizer. By bringing life-staving education into classrooms, not just clinics, we are closing gaps in access, ability, and awareness. Every child deserves the chance to save a life, no matter their background.
What We Teach
From the classroom to the playground to home, we're building a generation that knows how to care, act, and protect, even in the most unexpected moments.
Clean hands. Safe habits. Healthier lives.
We teach kids how simple choices can prevent sickness before it starts. From germs to daily routines, this foundation helps children take control of their own health and protect the people around them.
- •Handwashing 101- When, why, and how to wash our hands properly
- •Germ Smart- Understanding how sickness spreads
- •Personal Hygiene Routhines- Brushing teeth, showering, nail care
- •Respecting Shared Spaces- Clean classrooms, clean communities

The Movement
We're building a global community of life-savers. Join thousands of individuals committed to creating safer communities through knowledge and preparedness.
Be the First Responder Before 911 Arrives
Because the first few minutes decide everything.
Emergencies don't wait—and neither should we. By equipping kids with life-saving skills, you help ensure that when crisis strikes, someone nearby already knows what to do. Join us in turning bystanders into first responders, one school at a time.
Build Health Equity from the Ground Up
Healthcare knowledge shouldn't be a privilege.
In many communities, access to care is delayed or missing entirely. But education is powerful—and free to spread. By supporting first aid education in underserved schools, you're breaking cycles of medical helplessness and rewriting what's possible for every child.
Redefine What It Means to Save a Life
A Band-Aid today can prevent heartbreak tomorrow.
Saving a life doesn't always look like a hospital miracle. Sometimes, it's a child stopping a burn from spreading or calming a choking classmate. When we teach healthcare early, we plant courage, competence, and compassion into everyday moments.

Sevya Agarwal
Founder & Executive Director
Sevya Agarwal is an incoming freshman at The University of Texas at Austin, studying Psychology on the Pre-Med track, with a vision of becoming a future physician, public health leader, and healthcare innovator. She started One Breath Ahead as her Girl Scout Gold Award project, after being struck by a powerful truth: that up to 59% of trauma-related deaths could have been prevented with basic first aid skills that are rarely taught in schools. With a goal to address this gap, she set out to design a first aid education program for students that is hands-on, empowering, and accessible, because saving a life shouldn't depend on age, background, or zip code.
What began as a small initiative in one school has now reached over 20,000 students across the U.S. and India, training the next generation in hygiene, first aid, emergency response, and disaster preparedness. Sevya's mission is to move healthcare from something we passively receive to something we actively do, starting with children. Through One Breath Ahead, she's proving that young people can be first responders too, and that sometimes, all it takes is one breath, one moment, one young hero to change the course of a life.
