The Payanam – “A Travel Fellowship for Young Women” initiative will create a platform for young women to organize and embark on their own self-planned trips. This experience will act as a space for self-learning, self-reflection, and personal practice, while also connecting participants with the common people and the planet. By exploring different places, embracing new values, and analyzing diverse perspectives, participants will engage deeply with their surroundings.In this journey, we aim to connect each participant with local entrepreneurs and NGOs in their destination area. This will further deepen their learning and provide real-world opportunities for engagement.
