These changemakers are leaders of grassroots organizations working in sexual reproductive health and rights, economic empowerment, mental health, youth empowerment, gender-based violence, and mentorship.
With every new addition to our changemaker community, we gain local insights and expertise and expand our ability to create a social impact.
