A balanced and empowered society for all.
A society where every person—especially vulnerable children and adolescent girls—can access quality mental health care, economic opportunities and social justice.
A people-centred organisation
We believe every person deserves dignity, opportunity and hope.
Since 2019, SKWT has built solutions connecting mental health, social well-being, economic opportunity and rights.
Working with marginalised communities for well-being and sustainable development.
We engage communities directly, safeguard rights, build demand for quality mental health services and enable economic empowerment through innovative, gender-sensitive action.
Our Story
From a coalition of committed people to an organisation built for impact.
SKWT was founded in 2019 and officially registered in March 2023 under Certificate No. 00NGO/R/4453. It grew from a shared commitment to reduce social imbalances affecting street-connected children, orphans, girls and adults living with mental health challenges.
The IPAM model—Inform, Provide, Advocate—enables SKWT to connect awareness, direct support, referrals and economic empowerment in one strategy.
