GIST
(Girls Inspiring Social Transformation)
TKI’s flagship program, which aims to create hyper-customized action plans concerning all determinants of their health, to improve access to, awareness of, and utilisation of health resources by socio-economically underprivileged Indian Muslim girls, with a particular focus on Muslim-owned Child Care Institutions.
GIST’s impact will be made scalable by equipping the next generation of women with systems, skills and resources to create trans-generational positive healthcare outcomes in their respective communities.

TKI’s Community Champions Program
The Community Champions program empowers young Muslim girls to become changemakers within their communities, encouraging effective access to and utilization of health resources. The selected individuals will be incentivised with access to leading accelerator programs, internships, and more, based on their contributions.
They will also contribute to influencing socio-cultural trends, perception of women’s health, and accelerating their socio-economic progress, by making marginalised women happier and healthier.
Caregiver developemnt Program
We recognise that positive health outcomes also necessitate positive caregiver support systems as well. With well informed, trained teachers, parents and leaders, program impact will be strengthened, multiplied and sustained.
What makes GIST different?
Hyper-Customisation of Action Plans based on primary research on all determinants of health, with a sample size of 60-65% of the targeted population.
Creation of an Ecosystem of Providers across industries like Legal, Healthcare, Research, etc who can be plugged in, based on the specific action plan.
TKI’s Community Champions and Caregiver Development Programs will equip the community with competencies to be catalysts of change in their own circles that will create sustainable, multi-generational impact.
What ARE WE WORKING ON?
In collaboration with our national partners - Mpower- An Initiative of Aditya Birla Education Trust, LedBy Foundation, and Project Baala, TKI has been implementing its customised GIST action plan in Ummul Qura:
Culturally sensitised, interactive, workshops by professionals on topics ranging from sexual and reproductive health, to financial literacy for better healthcare outcomes.
Sustainable systemic interventions including healthier daily routines, regular diagnostic camps, sports interventions to improve social health, upheld by caregivers and community champions, who will be incentivised for the same.
Expansion of personal and professional networks through panel discussions by, and mentoring relationships with key community and industry stakeholders.
Recognising institutions that go through the GIST Program as Centres of Excellence in Women’s Health, at a community and governmental level.
In collaboration with our National Mental Health Partner - Mpower (Birla Foundation), TKI has initiated counselling and workshops on specific mental health challenges with approaches customised to the target group.
Throughout the year, the action plan will be expanded to include Sexual and Reproductive Health, and others, based on the need assessment.
Government Policies
Infrastructure & Organizational policies
Being a leading contributor to filling the critical gap in literature on Indian Muslim Women and their healthcare indicators, has been a key objective. We believe that improving marginalised women’s health is not just our mission, it’s everybody’s.
Tackling unique challenges also produces unique qualitative and quantitative data. This proprietary data will inspire culturally-sensitised corporate and governmental policies, programs and products that will equip Indian Muslim women with the financial, social and political resources they need.
