Changemaking flourishes when rooted in trust, shared purpose, and community wisdom. That’s why we’re excited to welcome Solidaridad Internacional Kanda A.C. (SiKanda) into our Changemaking Communities initiative, an evolving effort to support grassroots organizations leading youth-driven change in their local contexts.

Based in Zaachila, Oaxaca, SiKanda brings deep experience in social inclusion and sustainable development. We will supporting the Visible Youth, a project supporting adolescents and young adults, particularly young women, through workshops, mentoring, and youth-led community action focused on leadership, gender equity, and peacebuilding. 

Through our partnership on the Visible Youth project, we’re working together to:

• Support a cohort of 20 adolescents and young adults.                                               
• Elevate local approaches to gender equity, peacebuilding.                                    
• Center the lived experiences of Oaxaca’s youth.

This partnership is about more than program delivery. It is about co-creating approaches that honor lived experience, center local leadership, and uplift stories that too often go untold. SiKanda brings powerful insight to our global network, helping shape how we think about youth engagement and community-led change.
