MAYA

The current focus of MAYA is empowering parents with Intellectual and development disabilities, women and youth empowerment. MAYA (Movement for Alternatives and Youth Awareness) is a Karnataka-based non-governmental organisation (NGO) for the last 27 years, working to create an empowered and equitable society that systemically addresses livelihood, education and now health. Some of our successful initiatives in the past include Prajayatna, Maya Organic and LabourNet. The whole idea of the MAYA Health Initiative is to address the demand for quality primary healthcare by creating a new channel of dedicated, trained, technology enabled healthcare micro entrepreneurs (Health Navigators) who will act as the last mile connect between the healthcare ecosystem and the community in rural India. To train & empower local Health Navigators to deliver affordable and easily accessible healthcare to the community.
2. Develop health knowledge of the community to take control of their health, access health services and actively participate in maintaining a healthy environment.
3. Develop a sustainable ecosystem and linkages to support Health Navigators and address needs of the community.
