Don't look at them. You know, I didn't realize then and I understand now that I set up startup and we're a small community of all, all women professionals and startup. I realize now that I start up started up startup. As a portal almost for my own quest to meet with. Um, grassroots change makers, innovators, you know, people who are challenging status quo, but through a innovation solutions oriented model, you know, it was my own quest to partner with and to understand what really goes into the minds of. Pretty ordinary people who actually are able to create and shape extraordinary movements of change. There were many, many, many challenges in, in my journey where as a woman setting up, you know, a model like data, but in those through those challenges, I think I was able to sort of show up every day at work because of the my connection with the powers of the universe. You know, all kinds of gates start to open up. And in fact, you know, the artists Wave says that, you know, you can find the artists life by actually connecting with, you know, the, the creative powers in your life, because if you're part of the universe, the universe is also part of you. So the creativity of the universe also lies within you. And, and I think, you know, when we when we talk about intersectional work, when we talk about interconnected work, is there a way in which we can even do this work without seeing how? Our own lives are interconnected with the. You know what's that we are part of? So I think that just keeps me driving. And uh, that ensures that every day, on most days are received space. To all the Aura fellows that that we are, you know, so honored to work with are folks who address very hard and complex problems with great joy and optimism and and also through color, through music, through festivals, through through drama, through narrative building. And I think what we are learning from these fellows is that. To to sort of really address the Poly crisis and build resilience, what we require is culture change. And that's where narrative shift happens, and that's where, you know, everybody needs to be part of a new culture. How do you sort of really make, uh, assistive devices and solutions, you know, which is technology, which is sort of really radically inclusive technology that will enable and sort of unleash the, the well-being, the productive powers, the sense of identity for everybody. That is not happening. So we could have people from the world of technology who sort of have, who go on to create miracles in, you know, the global world. Technology and become philanthropists. But unless technology starts to create and be reshaped for communities on the ground, we technology is not really going to be the enabler that it. Has the potential to be technology has to cut through the barriers of gender identity. Remote location for it to truly be the enabling force and for it to truly live up to the global narrative that we have. Successfully built.

Marginalized communities in India have always been at the center of the polycrisis. It's now that the rest of the world is coming to terms with the cascading nature of its effects as well. Our report on the polycrisis and philanthropy in India, supported by Omega Resilience Awards explores the complex web of challenges facing India and the developing world. 'Rays of Light: Navigating the Polycrisis with a Focus on India and Philanthropy', uses the metaphor of light to acknowledge the coming of a new era, making a case for hope and courage within a narrative often associated with a feeling of impending doom. In this report, we picture India's future in an age of uncertainty and accelerated crisis while reflecting on opportunities for philanthropy to steer the path towards resilience.

The Pacific Institute, an Omega Resilience Awards Research Grant recipient, is dedicated to creating a future where society, the economy, and the environment have the water they need to thrive sustainably. With support from their ORA grant, the institute expanded its work on water, peace, and security by tracking and documenting water-related violence and developing strategies to reduce it.

Now featuring 1600 entries, this resource is now a vital tool used by the United Nations, academic researchers, non-governmental groups working on conflict prevention, defense and intelligence agencies, and journalists around the world.
