Vayam was founded in 2006 and was registered as a public trust in 2008 in Pune. It was founded by some like-minded friends who had varied experience in community work and social change. Their experience melted together to form the unique structure of Vayam. Vayam has no designations for its members, volunteers, and its agenda is entirely set by the participant community.
We currently work in Jawhar, Vikramgad, and other tribal areas of northern Western Ghats.
