World Renew is working in Nongladew through its partner NEICORD. Nongladew is a small village in the mountainous indigenous area of Meghalaya, in Northeast India with a population of Garo and Khasi indigenous people. The Garo are one of the last remaining matrilineal societies in the world.

Martha Marak lives here with her children, Lening, John and Critika, who go to the local school.

The school is underfunded and the roof was recently badly damaged by a severe hail storm, leaving it looking like a huge colander. When it rains the school has to close.

Here Lening sits in class.
