Women are already sustaining the mountains. The question is: are we enabling them to thrive?

In the Hills , Women sustain families , nurture Biodiversity, preserve knowledge and hold communities together . Empowering women is not just a matter of equity -it is a most powerful pathway to resilient , prosperous and thriving mountain communities.
Why Being Of Hills?
We don't believe that Hills can be 'fixed' from outside .
Change that lasts, must grow from within - grounded in local knowledge, relationships, resources and aspirations .
As Villages face migration, changing livelihoods, ecological pressure, Human-Wildlife Conflicts, we want to undestand what it takes for mountain communities not just to survive, but to thrive.
Finding oportunities in the local skills, resources, knowledge already present in the mountain communities.
Enabling Women-led enterprises that create income , strengthning local economies.
Resilient Women Communities
Enabling Women Self-help groups, co-operatives to lead the change
Year Zero
Before building solutions, we are listening
Being of Hills is currently in its year Zero - a period of field research, conversations and experimentation.
Not arriving with a solution, but finding it within the community.
