Along the way, they also realized just how sensitive and complex each of their issues are.At the same time, they also learned the importance of compelling phone calls that captures a donor's interest and support.Are you the change maker we are looking for?

Uganda has progressive land laws; on paper. The Constitution guarantees equality. The Land Act protects women's rights. But in villages, these laws mean nothing. Widows are often forced off their land after the death of their husbands.Thomas Isagara from Uganda is working to change this by securing Certificates of Customary Ownership for widows and collaborating with community leaders to ensure they have a safe, dignified future; for themselves and for generations to come.Are you the change maker we are looking for?

Meet the Changemakers of kanthari 2026 Introducing Yahaya Atiku Yusuf from Nigeria.Yahaya recognized that food insecurity in Northeast Nigeria is deeply linked to a failing industrial agricultural model.

This understanding becomes the cornerstone of building a meaningful NGO.Here is what two of our participants shared about last week.This is more than just training. It is a hands-on journey designed to push boundaries, build confidence, and turn vision into action.If you are curious about how this transformation is structured, explore the kanthari curriculum here: https://lnkd.in/dfzBnHiAnd don't forget to follow for more interesting updates!#changemakers #kanthari #braillewithoutborders #kerala #trivandrum #thiruvananthapuram #kanthariTALKS

At 5 AM, while her classmates slept, Itohan was already walking 15 kilometers—carrying 25 liters of water on her head. This was her daily reality. And it cost her everything.Growing up in Abeokuta, Nigeria, a city that means "Under the Rock", Itohan's childhood was defined by water scarcity. When the taps suddenly stopped, her education suffered, her health deteriorated, and her dreams of university faded. Crossing dangerous highways with bowls of muddy water balanced on her head became routine. Diarrhea became normal. Water became survival. But Itohan refused to accept this as fate.After years of struggle and working with Springboard, a kanthari-founded NGO focused on organic farming, she discovered that rural farmers and communities across Nigeria still face the same crisis, only worse. In 2023, she founded Omitide ("Water Has Come"), a grassroots movement transforming how Nigerian communities access, conserve, and protect water.Through rainwater harvesting systems, watershed management training, and community-led water conservation programs, Itohan is tackling one of Nigeria's most urgent crises: 70 million people without clean drinking water. She's not just building wells, she's building resilience, dignity, and food security for farmers and families.This is a story about environmental justice, climate action, and one woman's determination to turn a childhood nightmare into a national solution.🌍 What Omitide is doing: ✅ Running 5-day water awareness programs in water-scarce communities ✅ Training 10 community members per cycle in rainwater harvesting and watershed management ✅ Teaching DIY water-saving devices, drip irrigation, and groundwater replenishment ✅ Partnering with village chiefs and local leaders to maximize community impact ✅ Creating a ripple effect: trained communities inspire neighboring regions to adopt sustainable water practices📌 The crisis: Only 0.5% of Earth's water is accessible freshwater. In Nigeria, access to piped water dropped from 36% (1990) to 11% (2021). Farmers lose income every year due to drought. Children walk dangerous distances for contaminated water. Omitide is changing that.💬 Have you ever gone without water for a day? How did it feel?

Gilbert's TED-style talk on social impact leadership transformation: From job rejections and drought-hit Matibi to pioneering Ecowise youth empowerment in Zimbabwe. Discover his DIY water filter breakthrough!Gilbert shares how thinking differently sparked his unique problem-solving approach. After two years of job rejections, a DIY water filter, not his Computer Science degree, landed him an innovation role back in Matibi. This once-green village, his grandparents' home, now suffers from drought and youth exodus, with 48.5% of Masvingo youth neither in education, employment, or training. He champions self-designed learning to unlock creativity stifled by his father's harsh expectations. At Kanthari, Gilbert founded Ecowise, an initiative that engages youth in building a greener future. It rallies them through sports leagues where points reward environmental actions—like trees planted and waste recycled—more than just goals scored.Gilbert’s kanthari TALKS reveals leadership transformation: Turning climate collapse into thriving model villages.
