Designing Care Alongside Communities

Purpose, Profit and The Tensions in Between

In this episode we chat with Satya Chakrapani, who has plenty of experience running businesses among communities, about what it means to run a business with purpose and how that has shaped his views on addressing some of these social challenges.

Contextualising Trauma in South Asia

In this episode, we hear from Dr. Pratibha Milton, who shares from her years of experience working with individuals suffering from complex trauma and what trauma looks like from a South Asian context, especially when there aren't many words to refer to it in local languages.

Designing Care Alongside Communities

In this episode, we explore with Johnson Digal and Dr. Amy Mathew, who work at Madhepura Christian Hospital in Bihar, what it looks like to work alongside rural communities, building trust with them and then allowing them to take charge of how they would like to receive help, there by leading to community transformation, rather than prescribing what that should look like.

The Challenges to Reintegration in South Asia (Part 2)

Reintegration is often the most overlooked and complex part of the anti trafficking journey. In this episode, which is the second part with our guests Hannah Badi and Kristen Willard, we reflect on the role of community, systems, and research, asking what needs to shift to make reintegration more sustainable and why voices from South Asia remain less visible in global discourse. In the first part of the episode, we explore the challenges survivors of human trafficking face as they rebuild their lives beyond rescue and rehabilitation. Through real stories and insights, we unpack what makes reintegration work, where efforts fall short, and why creating the conditions to dream again is just as critical as creating livelihoods.
