Though Satyam is a new home, the people of Satyam are not new – not to each other, not to the field of peace activism. We have been working together for over a decade, devoted to the simple idea that all living beings deserve clean water, well-being, and freedom. Loyal to change, peace and justice for all.
We are peace activists, radical entrepreneurs, facilitators of Nonviolent Communication (NVC), change makers and lovers of life.
