Grassroot, in partnership with IYKA-Aram and supported by Terre des Hommes (TDH), organised a Well-being Day for single mothers at Annesville, Third Mile. The programme aimed to bring together women's cooperative societies and Self Help Groups (SHGs) on a common platform to discuss health, socioeconomic concerns, and overall well-being.

The gathering provided a safe and engaging space where women not only connected and enjoyed the activities but also learned about nutrition through Indigenous knowledge, promoting accessible and sustainable approaches to food security.

The programme was enriched by expert sessions from Dr. Emi Dkhar, Nutritionist, Dr. J. Pyrbot, Gynaecologist, and Dr. Anisha Mawlong, Oncologist, who shared valuable insights on nutrition, women's health, and cancer awareness, empowering participants with knowledge to make informed decisions about their health and well-being.

Behdienkhlam, the annual harvest thanksgiving festival of the Indigenous Jaintia community of Meghalaya, is a celebration of gratitude, resilience, and faith. It is a time to honour Mother Earth for her abundant harvest, remember the ancestors whose blessings continue to guide the community, and offer prayers for protection by driving away misfortune and negative forces.
This year, the Jaintia community gathered in prayer and celebration at Aitnar, Jowai, West Jaintia Hills, reaffirming a deep connection to the land, culture, and the enduring wisdom of Indigenous traditions.
