Garima Greh under Mitr Trust is a shelter home run by Rudrani Chhetri, who is a human rights activist for the LGBTQ+, Hijra and Transgender Community. Currently heading a health and human rights organzation for the upliftment of trans men and women. It’s a remarkable shelter home housing close to 25 housemates, educating nd upskilling for a better living and work opportunity.
The journey of a trans person is overwhelming with alot of challenges they face in their daily lives. Resources and employment opportunities are marginal to non-existing. We have more often associated the Trans Community with having to beg and do sex-work. What options do they have? Hence, they fall vulnerable and prey to alot of discrimination and abuse. They have been scarred and resillient. Hence, they come-out LOUD & NOT SO PROUD.
Here at Garima Greh, they are brought inhouse to firstly heal them of the torments they have gone through and counsel. Further educate, upskill and help them provide a better understanding of the life they could possibly attain that they dream of. Employment opportunities are barely accessible to them.
Qucciberry joins hands with Garima Greh to help upskill and provide employment opportunity by making candles for our online e-commerce portal www.qucciberry.com and other market places. We are looking for corporates and queer entrepreneurs to come forward and join hands with us towards this initiative.
Hoping for a better future and all the love and best wishes to Garima Greh and it’s housemates. Let’s bring in a positive change and better tomorrow.
