About MegLIFE

In the quiet hills of Meghalaya, where lush forests meet vibrant villages, a journey began on October 13th, 2020. It was a journey of hope and renewal, one that sought to restore not only the land but also the lives of the people who call this beautiful state home. The project was born out of a shared vision—to conserve and nurture the rich natural resources of the villages through sustainable forest management, enhance the livelihoods of the communities, and strengthen local institutions.
