Program Executive – Placements and Partnerships in New Delhi | Protsahan India Foundation

Protsahan India Foundation

Protsahan India Foundation works to end child abuse so that girls growing up in vulnerable situations can reach adulthood safely, with education, healthcare and freedom from violence. Girls and children who have lived through abuse get access to healing, care, gender justice and the support they need for their physical, social and mental well-being. Protsahan nurtures Girl Champions from socially excluded backgrounds, bringing them 21st-century skills that build self-learning, confidence and economic independence. Alongside this direct work, Protsahan builds grassroots partnerships focused on healing childhood trauma through training, research and advocacy, strengthening the child protection ecosystem in remote parts of India. This role sits within Protsahan's programme team, which supports Girl Champions and alumni as they move from learning into work.
