<p>In this episode, we explore with Johnson Digal and Dr. Amy Mathew, who work at Madhepura Christian Hospital in Bihar, what it looks like to work alongside rural communities, building trust with them and then allowing them to take charge of how they would like to receive help, there by leading to community transformation, rather than prescribing what that should look like.</p>

This podcast by JoyCorps Studio focuses on how design thinking and systems practice can be used to help tackle wicked problems. In this first series we will be looking at the problem of human trafficking - specifically, the challenge of reintegration for survivors and the role that freedom business and entrepreneurship plays in facilitating successful reintegration in the South Asian context. Over the last three years Studio has completed research in both India and Nepal, interviewing and facilitating workshops with a broad spectrum of NGOs, freedom businesses, survivors and community development organisations who are working on the ground. The research has shown that there exists a challenge of running successful freedom businesses in the region, and through this podcast, we would like to bring our design thinking and systems practice lens to conversations with experts in this field.
