About Uma Global

Uma Global connects people, institutions and opportunities to help young people and communities build capability, confidence and meaningful pathways forward.

Our purpose

Potential is everywhere. Opportunity must be built.

Uma Global is positioned as a platform for learning, mentoring, leadership and community collaboration, with a focus on Northeast India and connections beyond the region.

We bring together educators, mentors, institutions, practitioners and community partners around programmes that are practical, participatory and designed with local context in mind.

Our work is grounded in respect for local knowledge while creating access to wider perspectives, networks and opportunities.
