Why muslim women?

Indian Muslim Women live at the unique intersection of historical, religious, cultural, and socio-political barriers to accessing and utilising healthcare, which more often than not, negatively impacts their health. Women, being cornerstones of family and society, also have the potential to amplify positive health outcomes and uplift communities.

What we do?

The Khushtaar Initiative (TKI), a non-profit organization, seeks to address the unique challenges faced by Indian Muslim women in accessing and utilizing healthcare resources through customized, evidence-backed and culturally sensitized solutions, focussing on multiple determinants of health. It equips the community with sustainable resources, skills and systems to enable positive, trans-generational healthcare outcomes.
