We, The People Abhiyan

As we celebrate the 75th year of our Republic, it is imperative to foster a culture of informed and engaged citizenship across India. <a href="https://idronline.org/article/perspectives/active-citizenship-what-it-means-and-what-it-takes/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">This is an essential condition for a vibrant and just society.</a>Our mission this year is to empower citizens nationwide, nurturing them into active participants in shaping our collective future.To realise this mission, we are dedicated to educating and engaging active citizens in all states of India. We will do this, by building the capacities of Citizen Champions. These are individuals equipped with the knowledge and skills to drive change within their communities. These champions facilitate workshops, spread awareness, disseminate learning materials, offer guidance, and encourage fellow citizens to participate in local governance and civic activities.This fundraiser is a pivotal component of our broader initiative to enhance constitutional awareness and civic engagement.By supporting us, you join a movement aimed at fostering a lasting impact on the lives of all citizens. <img src="https://cfstatic.give.do/791dde98-e3a5-4feb-97b8-322e25d8f7d9.webp" />PLAN FOR THIS YEAROur primary objective for this year is to reach citizens through 3,000 Citizen Champions, spread across all states of India. Through our <a href="https://www.wethepeopleabhiyan.org/capacity-building" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">training program</a>, "Constitution for Citizen Action," participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of constitutional rights and legal provisions. Moreover, they will develop practical skills to address individual and community issues while upholding the principles enshrined in our Constitution.In tandem with the training program, we aim to bring together all the Citizen Champions we have trained, till date, through a community of practice called <a href="https://www.jancollective.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">Jan Collective</a>. Through this platform, Citizen Champions will have the opportunity to engage in on-going learning sessions, collaborate with peers, and take collective action. This community of empowered citizens will serve as a driving force for positive change across the nation.IMPACT TILL DATESince our inception in 2010, we have built capacities of over 6,700 Citizen Champions, by partnering with 155 organisations. These Champions, have further impacted over 25,00,000 citizens, by applying the knowledge they have gained though We, The People Abhiyan; and actively helping citizens resolve various civic issues.<img src="https://cfstatic.give.do/be065f58-5bdb-4ca2-8219-fcad4ba447e0.webp" />As of January 2024, we have worked in 14 States, namely – Delhi NCR, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Bihar, Jharkhand, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Assam, Nagaland, Manipur, Madhya Pradesh, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, &amp; Kerala.During the course of the last 14 years, we have trained changemakers who are involved in community development and ensuring access to entitlements. Specifically, field teams and community leaders of CSOs and networks working with women collectives, youth, panchayat members, youth groups, networks working on labour rights, gender equality, caste discrimination and other issues.Strategically, we contribute to 3 Sustainable Development Goals: Reduced Inequalities, Partnership for the Goals, &amp; Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions.STORIES FROM THE GROUND<a href="https://www.wethepeopleabhiyan.org/post/basanti-devi-wants-to-eliminate-gender-based-discrimination-for-all-women" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">Basanti Devi: Citizen Champion from Koderma, Jharkhand</a><img src="https://cfstatic.give.do/e1967b73-c1f5-400d-b6b6-00ab8b9ebc2f.webp" />Basanti, engaged in the Gender C.R.P. programme with our partner Pradan, secured her daughter's enrolment in the Ladli Yojana Scheme after our training. She navigated bureaucracy, escalating to higher authorities for assurance. Joining Naari Adalat, she also fought against gender injustices, aiding a victim of domestic abuse.Basanti's dedication &amp; courage epitomizes constitutional values, driving societal and state-level impact. She remains an unwavering force for progress, empowering not just herself and her daughter but also the women of her community.<a href="https://www.wethepeopleabhiyan.org/post/enabling-access-to-water-pipelines-using-the-constitution" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">Rukhsar Mullah: Citizen Champion from Mumbai, Maharashtra</a><img src="https://cfstatic.give.do/a3c3de97-4b40-42c1-8a77-c96c50fc2a38.webp" />Rukhsar, a dedicated field officer at Apnalaya, lives in the suburb of Dharavi, famously known as the biggest slum in the world. She applied constitutional principles, learned during our training, to advocate for community rights. Using the Directive Principles of State Policy, she addressed grievances of her community, and secured water access under the Swachh Bharat Mission. By incorporating constitutional elements in her appeals to authorities, Rukhsar achieved significant state-level impact, prompting the Municipal Corporation to commit to installing water pipelines in Dharavi. Her relentless pursuit of empowered communities exemplifies true citizenship advocacy.

Community & Rural Development

We, The People Abhiyan, builds capacities of citizens to act for a better society. We equip citizens with the perspective, knowledge and skills needed to take action on issues they face in everyday life. This capacity building is based mainly on the understanding and application of the values, rights and responsibilities outlined in the Constitution of India. This is because constitutional understanding and practice is intrinsically linked with the progress and development of our societies. The Constitution of India sets out the vision for a better society. It defines the roles, rights and responsibilities of citizens and institutions. And it provides the institutional and legal structure for citizen action. So, in essence, the better we claim our Constitution, the better we practice our citizenship and the better we make our lives and communities.To achieve this, WTPA facilitates in-depth trainings, awareness workshops and civic action projects with citizens. Usually, these are in partnership with institutions - government and private schools, civil society organisations (CSOs), government institutions and corporates. We work across different regions in the country, notably in Delhi-NCR, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Assam, Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh.We, The People Abhiyan is a registered Society and Trust.
