Grassroots Staff and Volunteers
Our work is powered by dozens of local staff and volunteers based in tribal villages across Nandurbar and Jalgaon. Their on-the-ground knowledge, relationships, and commitment make every initiative possible — from forest rights to food security, from women’s farming to child health.
🌾 Loksamanway Pratishthan is a people’s effort — shaped by those who live the struggle, lead the change, and walk the path of rights every day.
