XIPA's work spans five interconnected focus areas, each reflecting our commitment to community-driven, collaborative action.
Assam's rivers, fields and forests are part of everyday life here — and looking after them is everyone's work. We organise hands-on action that people of any age can join, close to home.
Skills are the most practical thing a collective can share. We create spaces where people can learn something useful — and where those who already have a skill can pass it on.
XIPA exists so that young people don't have to wait for permission to be useful. Volunteers take on real responsibility — planning activities, leading teams, and seeing projects through.
A great deal of knowledge in our communities lives in people rather than in books — crafts, practices, songs, stories and ways of working with the land. We record it, celebrate it, and keep it in circulation.
A community is only as strong as the people it leaves out. We work on awareness and inclusion so that support reaches everyone — and so that difficult subjects can be discussed openly.
Across all our focus areas, we work in partnership with local communities, schools, and organisations — learning together as much as we teach.
Tell us which focus area you care about most, and we'll point you towards the activities where you can help.
