Grassroots action
for resilient futures.
Born in Ragihalli, 16 Doddi Trust is a grassroots movement where women and youth are reclaiming futures once disrupted by mining. Led by community resilience and rooted in agroecology, food, and ecosystem restoration, we are building scalable models that strengthen livelihoods and create fairer, healthier systems for all.
"Doddi, in Kannada, means a small settlement — often overlooked, yet full of resilience. Our name carries their spirit forward."
