SAKHA is a pioneering community based organization in Odisha dedicated to empowering the Transgender and Hijra community by upholding their rights, dignity, and social inclusion. Since 2007, we have grown from a small support group in Bhubaneswar into a multifaceted organization reaching nearly 5000 TG and Hijra individuals across the state. We focus on creating livelihood opportunities through skill building, training, advocacy, and networking with industries and CSR partners to shift the community from begging to dignified employment. SAKHA also operates the Garima Greh Programme under NISD, Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, offering shelter, training, education, and holistic support to 25 transgender persons. Beyond gender inclusion, we serve women, children, youth, and marginalized families through health, HIV intervention, education, newborn care, and women and child development programmes. Our active role in emergency response including COVID 19 relief and vaccination reflects our long standing commitment to protecting vulnerable communities.
