Training showcase: building leadership and power with Indigenous youth in India

From September 2021 to 2022, Haiyya, our member organization in India, ran a one-year program aimed at building capacity for change among the youth in Indigenous tribal communities in the Nilgiris Biosphere region in South India. What emerged was a powerful story of how organizing can transform people and communities – as the Indigenous youths began taking matters into their own hands and building power collectively to solve problems in their local communities, from access to clean water to education, women empowerment and forest governance!
