Aswathy Preetha Jayakumar is the founder of Ayang Trust (2017)[1], an Indian non-profit working on education, livelihood, tribal welfare and women & children from Majuli.
Ayang Trust
Ayang Trust ('Ayang' means love in the Mising tribal language) is registered under the Indian Trusts Act, formed in 2017 out of the earlier Hummingbird School set up by 19 Mising villages on Majuli, Assam — the world's largest inhabited river island. It runs the Hummingbird model school, weekly community-library sessions now reaching 2,000+ children across dozens of government schools, and livelihood and disaster-risk-reduction programmes for women farmers and artisans, including flood-affected families, across Assam and into Arunachal Pradesh.
Ayang Trust reports the following, on its own site:
