Yi Rural Initiatives is a part of the Yi stakeholders team (MYTRi) and aims to promote rural communities in Yi chapters. Rural Initiatives (RI) aims to create an environment to fulfil the aspirations of rural citizens, bring about a change in attitude, which is crucial for any transformation, and empower communities in villages through participatory rural development. Yi aims to achieve this step by building a robust participatory model where it can collaborate in the rural sector with local communities, industry, and enterprise. Yi projects and initiatives have tremendous potential to make a difference in rural communities.
