Safety when there is nowhere else to go.
Why Mera Kunba exists
Transgender people are often excluded from families, denied
rental housing, and forced to live in unsafe or unstable conditions.
Mera Kunba responds to housing as a right linked to dignity, safety and equality, not as charity.
What Mera Kunba provides
Short-term safe accommodation
A violence-free, respectful living environment
Emotional and peer support
Referrals for healthcare and counselling
Documentation and entitlement support
Planning for independent or longer-term housing
Rights & advocacy in the shelter
Living in safety allows people to:

pursue healthcare without fear
engage with institutions from a position of stability
Our shelter work strengthens advocacy by showing how
housing insecurity is a systemic issue, not an individual failure.
