Having access to good health services is essential and is a basic human right for every person. Even so, trans and gender diverse people often find themselves in a bind trying to find a health provider that understands their health needs. The path to full fulfilment and attainment of the highest standards of healthcare is a movement of its own, and we invite you to walk with us in effecting this impact by creating a change for the lives of trans and gender-diverse people in Asia and the Pacific.
We rely on financial donations for the work we do. Your donations will contribute to our efforts and work to improve the quality of care for trans and gender diverse people. If you are interested in donating to us, the page linked below will include a direction on how to donate.
