Shakti Foundation for Disadvantaged Women is a Bangladeshi NGO established to provide sustainable development support to women living in poverty. For over three decades, Shakti Foundation has worked at the intersection of microfinance, health, and climate change to promote the rights and dignity of Bangladesh’s most marginalized communities.

The Circle of Care is an integrated development project across two sites in Savar and Old Dhaka. The project targets 200 individuals: female sex workers (FSW), their children, and transgender individuals. It is structured around five integrated pillars: (1) market-oriented vocational training, (2) an Entrepreneurship Development Program (EDP), (3) free primary healthcare and sexual and reproductive health services, (4) trauma-informed mental health and psychosocial support, and (5) dedicated child-focused support.

• Oversee and coordinate the delivery of all five project pillars in strict adherence to the approved implementation timeline.
• Coordinate with technical training partners to maintain vocational content quality and program standards.
• Directly supervise and support two Community Outreach Workers, providing regular performance feedback and guidance on field-level engagement with beneficiary communities.
• Facilitate mandatory pre-project staff training to ensure all personnel are equipped with technical competencies, trauma-informed care principles, cultural sensitivity, and non-discriminatory practices before activities commence.
• Conduct monthly staff meetings bringing together personnel from both sites to assess progress, surface challenges, and ensure operational consistency and quality across locations.
• Lead participatory community mapping and comprehensive baseline needs assessments covering health, livelihoods, skills, and psychosocial needs.
• Implement a proactive retention strategy including early disengagement monitoring, individualized case management, and follow-up through home visits or referrals.
• Design and apply a robust monitoring framework using standardized checklists, anonymous written feedback from trainees, participant attendance, progress, health outcomes, and psychosocial well-being throughout the project period.
• Ensure that dedicated safe spaces are established and maintained for all counselling, health, and psychosocial sessions, with strict confidentiality and dignity protocols upheld at all times.
• Maintain comprehensive program records including beneficiary profiles, training records, attendance registers, health camp data, and economic tracking data.
• Maintain all financial and programmatic including safeguarding records, procurement documentation, and receipts for events and administrative expenditures.
