Ayang Trust

The Builders Programme is a leadership and entrepreneurship journey designed for practitioners working in underserved geographies and communities. Over the past few months, it has brought together changemakers from across the Northeast to strengthen their capacity as social entrepreneurs through workshops on social business, adaptive leadership, authentic voice, and impact-driven enterprise building.

Through immersive learning, reflection, and peer exchange, the programme supports participants in aligning their personal purpose with sustainable community-led solutions. More than just a training initiative, Builders is about nurturing a network of leaders committed to creating meaningful and lasting social transformation.

Congratulations to the first Builders Cohort 2026 for completing this journey with courage, commitment, and vision

We look forward to seeing the impact you continue to create in your communities.

We are grateful to Union Bank Social Foundation for strengthening our education initiatives by providing 25 computers to community libraries that Ayang Trust works with across Majuli.

In a river island where access to digital infrastructure remains limited, initiatives like this are critical to ensuring that children and young people are not left behind in an increasingly digital world. These computers will help transform community libraries into spaces where students can explore, learn, and build essential digital skills.

The computers were inaugurated in the presence of Srabana Kumar Pradhan, Regional Head, Regional Office (Jorhat), Union Bank of India, and Jyotishman Sonowal, whose support and presence made the occasion meaningful for the community.

Together, we hope to strengthen equitable access to learning opportunities for young people across Majuli.

In the flood-prone socio-economic landscape of Majuli, women play a central role in farming, weaving, and sustaining household economies. Yet their work often remains undervalued, and many continue to face barriers to markets, financial resources, and decision-making spaces.

Ayang Trust works to address these gaps by strengthening women’s economic participation and collective leadership. By organising rural women into producer collectives such as the , the organisation enables farmers and artisans to access training, financial literacy, enterprise support, and market linkages that are difficult to access individually.

Through this platform, women build on their existing knowledge of agriculture, weaving, and craft while also learning how to manage enterprises, negotiate prices, and participate in collective decision-making.

In a region shaped by recurring floods, land erosion, and limited livelihood opportunities, these efforts help create more stable income pathways while expanding women’s presence in local economic and public spaces. In this process of taking on leadership roles through a collective enterprise, they gradually gain a greater voice in the otherwise patriarchally confined households.

This journey reflects the spirit of this year’s International Women’s Day theme, “Give to Gain.” The progress seen in Majuli has been built through the time, knowledge, and solidarity women invest in collective platforms like Lékopé. .

By contributing to shared enterprises and supporting one another’s growth, women are strengthening not only their own livelihoods but also the resilience of their communities.

This International Women’s Day, we honour the women of Majuli whose strength, labour, and leadership are building more resilient communities and more equitable futures.
