Earlier this week, Veeraa hosted our first community meetup in Delhi. We were in conversation with two grassroots leaders: Shabnam and Suraj, and learnt about their life on the frontlines.

Thanks to @oddbirdtheatre for hosting us!

[Veeraa @veeraadotorg]

Because grassroots impact is more than attendance numbers.

[Veeraa @veeraadotorg]

The numbers show what happened. Listening shows what changed.

Young people felt less isolated. Women felt more confident making decisions. Tribal women reported greater financial literacy.

[Veeraa @veeraadotorg]

Shabnam Begum started by documenting problems in her community with a mobile phone. 📱

But she realised that real change wouldn't come from solving every problem herself. It would come from helping more women become leaders.

[Veeraa @veeraadotorg]

Today, what began as small conversations has grown into a 500-member women's collective across five villages in northern Varanasi. Together, they're helping children return to school, supporting women to claim their rights, and solving problems within their own communities.
