Setu Mitra India empowers youth and women from marginalized communities with knowledge, leadership skills, and a collective voice to advance social justice in everyday life. Through participatory learning spaces, inclusive dialogues, and grassroots action, we support them to become changemakers in their communities. We envision an India where young people and women — especially those from the most vulnerable communities — lead with dignity, awareness, and purpose, shaping a future that is inclusive, resilient, and grounded in equity, care, and constitutional values. Our approach nurtures bridges between self, society, and systems, inspiring leadership that heals, connects, and empowers. Setu Mitra India emerged from the deep need to create safe, inclusive, and supportive spaces where youth and women can think critically, act collectively, and lead change. Rooted in lived experiences and grassroots realities, we believe sustainable transformation is possible when the most excluded voices are heard, respected, and empowered.
