Project SAHAS, implementing with support from Azim Premji Philanthropic Initiatives (APPI), is a ‘unique and innovative’ project that focuses on five major areas affecting Transgenders (Male to Female & Female to male, including nonbinary persons) in India. The focused areas are Holistic Healthcare (including early detection, prevention and referral treatment for communicable as well as non-communicable diseases), Gender Affirmation Care (GAC), Human Rights, Gender Based Violence and Social Welfare Entitlements. The project’s key objective is to create a significant positive impact in the areas of gender identity, education, equitable access, and the economic status of the transgender population. The project will be implemented in ten sites at three levels (national, state and community levels), ensuring collaboration with the organisations working for the welfare of the transgender community.
