After eight years of developing projects to empower the Warli communities of Aarey Colony, The Nazareth Foundation is now turning their attention to a small hamlet in Madh Island. Their latest venture aims to help the Warli community of Dharavali village sell their monsoon crops. “When we started out, very few people knew of the Warli communities settled in Aarey Colony. Usually, when one would think of Warli tribes, they would think of Sanjay Gandhi National Park. But now, people are more aware about the community’s presence across the city,” shares founder Cassandra Nazareth.
