OUR STORY
Triveni Samaj Vikas Kendra began its journey in 2006, focusing on the TG/Hijra population in Malad, Malwani area of Mumbai. The organization flourished under the Aastha Project, funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF), with support from the Society for Service to Voluntary Agencies (SOSVA) and Family Health International. After the successful transition of the Aastha Project, Triveni continued to provide services to the community, supported by key stakeholders like MSACS and MDACS. The organisation is also associated with INFOSEM, Aastha Pariwar, and several local organizations, working to uplift the TG and Hijra communities in the Malwani area.
​
After the successful transition of the Aastha project, MDACS awarded Triveni with TG and Hijra TI in the same region in 2010.
​​
​Over the past 10 years of work, Triveni observed that there is a significantly low number of reported crises within the community. This underreporting is largely due to a lack of knowledge and awareness about human rights. To address these issues, the project aims to raise awareness among media professionals about the transgender community and the challenges they face in securing social and economic recognition within the broader society.
OUR TEAM
Triveni Samaj Vikas Kendra is currently led by Chandni Shaikh, as the organization's Project Director. A Project Manager oversee operations, supported by M&E, counselling and medical team. Outreach Workers (ORW), who are from the community itself, form the frontline, engaging with the community.
