NURTURE
At an early stage on its path, Nila has proven itself to be a project of significant influence and capability for impact. While slow crafts take time, Nila has already made significant headway, both at the grassroots level and in the public domain. We continue to work hard to honour our founding objectives and the communities we have pledged to support.
