We know that rural communities have been left out for the longest time when it comes to accessing services at the national level. At Zoota Initiative for Development, we are all about shaking up the system and making sure rural communities have a voice that’s heard. We are pushing for policies that drive social justice, economic inclusion, and equal access to healthcare because everyone deserves a fair shot, no matter where they live.

Our mission is clear: tackle the challenges that rural communities face, and ensure that women, youth, and other marginalised groups are front and center in decision-making. We are all about making things better by using advocacy and awareness raising, research, community action, and stakeholder engagement to shift the dial on policies that matter.

Whether it’s improving healthcare access, creating fair trade opportunities, or securing sustainable livelihoods, we are on it. We push for policies that ensure quality healthcare for rural communities, focus on maternal and child health, and work towards palliative care for those in need.

We are community-centered, meaning we empower locals with the knowledge and tools to stand up for their rights. Together, we engage policymakers to make change happen. So, if you are ready to join a movement that’s all about real change and progressive policy, let’s make it happen!.
