Haiyya Details
We set up Haiyya because we were frustrated at how the development sector was significantly failing to create and sustain leadership pathways for young people who want to make a difference. We're on a mission to fix that!Haiyya was founded in 2015, with a vision to rebuild and transform the social fabric of India, where young leaders and their organisations are building grassroots citizen power to strengthen democracy, governance and human rights. We equip social changemakers, organizations and citizen groups to learn, innovate and adapt to the needs of the changemaking landscape. Using cutting edge modern day campaigning and community engagement frameworks, we create a loud thumping voice of participatory, people-powered programs.Inspired by the work of Professor Marshall Ganz from Harvard Kennedy School and the adaptation of his work in President Obama's electoral campaign 2008 & 2012, we at Haiyya are applying and innovating ‘Community Organizing' in India. We started our journey by running local level campaigns and training young people to become community organizers. Today, we have put ourselves on the global map with prestigious awards, recognitions, affiliations and partnerships. We have worked with many clients, partners and funders to design campaign strategy, implement programs and training curriculums engaging more than 5,000 change-makers in our network. In the past 3 years, we have been hired by reputed organizations, funded by trusted grant bodies and collaborated with renowned partners to advance leadership and participatory approaches that build sustainable change in India.
