We build capabilities in community members through an ecosystem of resources, skills and tools of law to identify and voice their struggles, and act towards designing innovative justice solutions
We are based in the Chambal Gwalior region, where the issues of social justice are borne from the unequal structures (class, caste and gender) leading to violent crimes and extreme discrimination. Justice is inaccessible to the marginalised communities, particularly the Adivasi and Dalit communities in this region, due to:
This leads to these communities remaining marginalised both socially and economically.
Providing legal support and equipping people with knowledge and tools to understand and enforce their rights.
Empowering people with justice making capabilities - activating their agency to solve justice problems.
Raising awareness and inspiring action through stories from the grassroots.

“It was only in Shivpuri that I truly understood the power of Zeniths work to unlock the capacity for change in a regional ecosystem. The careful tending of relationships across state and society; the development of not just legal but community organizing capacity; and the mobilization of a large number of young people in the process of effecting change. Zenith can become a model for how sustainable change can be effected for the most vulnerable.”
“Zenith taught me how it's equally important to work with the government while seeking accountability from them. I also learned social and political realities surrounding the access to justice and a holistic approach to resolve justice issues. Being around nature every time was delightful bonus :).”
