Covid 19 Support for Transgender Community – Pune 2

The COVID-19 pandemic has particularly affected the transgender persons in our country, especially those surviving on daily wage. Since the lockdown, many folks in the community are struggling to make ends meet, while living with disabilities, chronic illnesses, and/or compromised immune systems and without family support structures. 

This community has disproportionately been experiencing a lifelong arc of violence and discrimination, many of its community members currently are impoverished and without housing.

While India is struggling with the pandemic, we’re still awaiting the declaration of any relief measures for people who sustain on a hand to mouth basis.

What we are doing is not enough. But we’re  trying and we’re asking for your help. 

We will be distributing packets of food essentials to 100 members of the trans community in Pune. Each packet costs Rs. 1000.  

Help us help the community. 

Trust. Generosity. Empathy. Compassion. 

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! 

Team MIST in collaboration with members of the Trans Community
