WHO WE ARE
A grassroots trust,
working here
since 2006
KOSHISH is a grassroots non-profit organization established in 2006, registered as a trust committed to improving the lives of vulnerable and marginalized communities. Through community participation, partnerships, and innovative programmes, we work to ensure that every individual has the opportunity to learn, grow, stay healthy, and live with dignity.

WHAT WE DO
Our work
Ten programme areas, run together rather than in isolation — because a child's education, health, safety and environment are not separate problems.

OUR APPROACH
Communities lead their own development
We believe lasting change happens when communities are empowered to lead their own development. Our work is guided by participation, inclusion, accountability, collaboration, and evidence-based action.
OUR PROMISE
What we are working towards
We envision communities where every child is protected, every adolescent is empowered, every woman is respected, and every family has the opportunity to live a healthy and dignified life.
