Welcome to Sahodari Foundation, the Centre for Transgender and Women Empowerment. Sahodari is a pioneer organization in India that has been working for more than 12 years now. Since its founding in 2008, the organization has been involved always in innovative ways to reach out to the transgender community and bring out their voices to the world loud and clear.
We run various projects to empower the community. We use technology, art, films and literature to educate and empower the community. The Thoorikai Project is the answer to the livelihood of the transgender community. Previously known as the Transhearts project, the project aims to use the full creative potential of the transgender community and use it for their personal growth and empowerment.
The Red Wall Project encourages transgender people to speak about their lives without shame, guilt and builds their self esteem and educates their civil and human rights. Click on the links on this page to know more about the projects.
The Transgender Youth Mentorship Program helps the young transgender persons to find, evaluate and value up their self esteem, find their purpose, establish their goals and ambitions and work on it. We have held many workshops in the past and do these workshops yearly thrice.
Transgender youths benefit immensely through this programs and it also aids them financially for their education and skill trainings.

It doesn’t matter if your son is a daughter or your daughter is a son. What matters is how good you are to them as a father or a mother.

Hi,
I am surprised see your sahodari foundation website.doing very good social services.
My best wishes.
First of all, I am so grateful to you people for doing such a wonderful job. Kudos and god bless all the good-doers. Secondly, I am girl who wants to serve in some way. Is there any work available that I can do or volunteer to do. Transgenders are no different, they are completely normal but the fact that a lot of people don’t understand this triggers me. I want to be a part of their lives and see whats their world is like. If its okay, please tell me about the volunteer work that I can do fpr them.
