Purnkuti focuses on humanitarian aid, particularly assisting marginalized groups like female sex workers and transgender individuals facing legal, social, and economic challenges in India. These groups are disproportionately vulnerable to HIV/AIDS due to their involvement in commercial sex work, leading to stigma and limited services access. Purnkuti provides essential support, offering monthly nutrition and ration kits to HIV-affected families and aiding female sex workers with ration kits. During crises like the COVID-19 pandemic, the organisation swiftly distributed rations to thousands, including sex workers, transgenders, and migrants. Flood relief efforts included distributing rations and blankets. Purnkuti's efficient ration distribution to HIV-impacted families involves careful recipient selection, vendor arrangement, and coordinated distribution.
