In 2026 we begin an exciting extension for post Grihini students. It is a three-year initiative to establish village-based self-help groups. The initial workshop, will run by Linda and Jim Chalmers, accompanied by Rama (committed members of the Australian Management Team) is planned for October 22. It will bring together 30–40 Grihini graduates to identify local priorities and develop sustainable community projects. A guest facilitator who is experienced in establishing such programs will facilitate participants learning how to plan, manage and sustain initiatives that improve the lives and livelihoods of their communities.
