Get involved
There is always more to do than we have hands for.
The foundation is run by a small governing council and a larger circle of people who turn up. There is room in that circle, on the ground in Thoubal and from wherever you are.
Volunteer
Where help actually makes a difference.
These are the gaps we feel week to week. If what you do is not listed, write anyway and we will tell you honestly whether we can use it.
Teach and read
Sit with children in the community library, run extension sessions in partner schools, or help older students prepare for exams. Manipuri or English, both are useful.
On site in Thoubal · ongoing
Medical camps
Doctors, nurses, counsellors and public-health workers to run camps and awareness sessions, particularly on women's health, child health and HIV/AIDS.

Skill training
Trainers in embroidery, handloom weaving, tailoring, bookkeeping and basic enterprise skills, to work with our women's self-help groups.

Documentation

Stand with Thoubal
You do not have to be on the council to be part of this.
An afternoon in the reading room or a year of pro bono work. It all ends up in the same villages.
