Position: 1Location: Vijaynagar, Karnataka
Introduction
KHPT is a not-for-profit organization that has, for over two decades, worked alongside India’s most vulnerable communities to improve their health and wellbeing. Our journey began in 2003 with focused initiatives to reduce the prevalence of HIV in Karnataka, and since then, our work has expanded to address a wide range of public health issues across the country. In places where health remains out of reach, held back by stigma, silence or systemic gaps, we have worked to change that reality. We believe the answers already exist in local knowledge, the culture of the place, and in collective intent. While health is our focus, we see it in its full context shaped by poverty, gender, social norms, urbanisation and climate. We bring together technical expertise and community wisdom, blending data, dialogue and systems thinking to strengthen health systems and empower communities. Because health and wellbeing are rights. And every community deserves not just access, but the power to shape its own wellbeing.The Sukshema 2.0 project which is a three-year initiative is aimed at improving the health through empowerment of adolescent girls, young women, mothers, and children using a lifecycle approach. The model is grounded in a socio-ecological and empowerment framework, influencing change at individual, family, community, and societal levels. The project focuses on strengthening pre-conception, maternal, newborn, and child health, along with educational and empowerment outcomes.
