From day one, we anchored our model on four pillars: community engagement, leadership training, systems strengthening, and crisis response. Our first initiative linked 120 youth to corporate internships, while a series of Diversity & Inclusion workshops opened pathways in HR departments of leading firms. To bolster resilience, Basera’s Crisis Response Cell now offers 24/7 psychosocial support and legal aid. We’ve trained 80 youth in leadership, advocacy, […] - [Pehchan – Building Community Systems for Lasting Impact](https://baserasamajiksansthan.org/10-simple-practices-that-will-help-you-get-1-need-to-leverage-our-synergies/): How a pioneering HIV prevention project sowed the seeds for Basera’s grassroots leadership model When Basera joined forces with India HIV/AIDS Alliance in 2012 to launch Pehchan, we knew it wasn’t just about delivering condoms and testing kits. It was about entrusting our own communities—their lived experience, wisdom, and resilience—to lead every step of the HIV-prevention journey. In six districts across Uttar Pradesh, Basera trained 60 peer educators drawn from sex workers, MSM, and transgender networks. These peer educators did more than distribute supplies. They convened safe-space forums where stigma dissolved and honest conversations about sexuality and health took root. […] - [Targeted Intervention in Noida – Deepening HIV Prevention](https://baserasamajiksansthan.org/targeted-intervention-in-noida-deepening-hiv-prevention/): The ongoing fight to minimize HIV transmission among high-risk groups Since May 2022, Basera’s Targeted Intervention (TI) project with UPSACS has zeroed in on the 700 highest-risk individuals in Gautam Budh Nagar: 500 FSWs and 200 MSMs. We began by mapping both core groups (FSWs, MSMs) and bridge groups (truckers, migrants, street children), identifying service gaps and hotspots. Our outreach team—seven community workers and ten peer educators—launched bespoke workshops on sexual health, distributed condoms, and hosted health camps that tested for STIs and counselled participants. TI goes beyond the clinic. We’ve held 45 sensitization sessions with local hospitals, law enforcement, […] - [Strengthening PLHIV Support & Advocacy](https://baserasamajiksansthan.org/strengthening-plhiv-support-advocacy/): Creating a continuum of care that goes beyond treatment to life transformation When Prayas launched in 2019, Basera set out to redefine what support looks like for people living with HIV (PLHIV). We knew treatment alone wasn’t enough—PLHIV need mental-health support, entitlement navigation, and a community that holds them up. From our Noida anchor, Basera’s counsellors and peer navigators conducted home visits, offering adherence coaching, psychosocial counselling, and assistance in securing nutrition and social-protection schemes. Within two years, Prayas had engaged 1,500 PLHIV—80 percent of whom achieved and maintained viral suppression through our integrated model. We convened district policy roundtables […] - [Wajood – Advancing Transgender Health & Rights](https://baserasamajiksansthan.org/wajood-advancing-transgender-health-rights/): From healthcare access to policy change, how Wajood elevated transgender leadership By 2016, Basera recognized that clinical services alone couldn’t dismantle the discrimination transgender communities face. That realization led to Wajood, a dedicated transgender health and rights initiative with Alliance India. We began by hosting mobile health camps across Uttar Pradesh, offering gender-affirming care side-by-side with HIV testing and counselling. Parallel legal clinics recorded stories of bias, guided clients through complaints, and secured crucial redressal. Over three years, Wajood documented over 500 human rights violations—from housing evictions to police harassment—and trained 150 peer advocates in storytelling, legal literacy, and strategic […] ## Pages - [Advocacy & Systems Strengthening](https://baserasamajiksansthan.org/services/advocacy-systems-strengthening/): Peer-led HIV/STI prevention outreach, condom distribution, and behaviour change communication Community-based screening and testing for HIV, syphilis, and other STIs Counselling and referral linkages with ICTCs, ART centres, and mobile clinics Viral load testing support, treatment literacy, and adherence counselling Tele-counselling and mental health crisis support for LGBTQIA+ individuals Health camps offering general check-ups, sexual health services, and PrEP awareness Emergency COVID-19 relief kits, nutrition support, and ARV medicine distribution Summery Advancing policy reform and institutional collaboration to create equitable, resilient, and inclusive health systems.
