Why I joined RISHI
I joined Project RISHI because I wanted to be part of something that creates real, lasting change in our community as well as in rural India. The organization's focus on sustainable development and working directly with communities spoke to me and so I saw it as an opportunity to use my skills and passion for social work in a way that would genuinely help people, while also deepening my understanding of the challenges faced by these communities.
