Empowering Marginalized Communities: Transforming Lives in Three States

The main goal of MYS is to make life better for marginalized communities. We believe that everyone should be treated fairly and with respect.

The focal point of MYS revolves around advocating for equity, particularly by promoting electoral literacy among the most vulnerable populations in rural areas. Recognizing that electoral literacy and education serve as the foundational pillars for the empowerment of disempowered communities, our group has been actively engaged in campaigns for these causes.

MYS is dedicated to fulfilling its long-term commitments to empower the most vulnerable groups through strategically implementing well-designed programs. Our initiatives focus on Capacity Building & Skill Development, Environment & Livelihood, Development Communication, Strengthening Local Self-Governance Institutions, and Research & Advocacy.
