Basera Samajik Sansthan is a transgender-led, community-based organisation founded in 2006 and registered under the Societies Registration Act, 1860 (Reg. No. 914-2006-2007).
Basera was built by people who have lived through exclusion and stigma and who chose to create change from within their own communities. We work with transgender and hijra persons, sex workers, MSM, people living with HIV, and vulnerable youth to ensure they can access healthcare, social support, and opportunities to lead.
Our work begins with listening. Community members shape our programs, guide our priorities, and lead our initiatives. By combining health services, crisis support, leadership development, and advocacy, we help individuals build stronger futures while working toward a more just and inclusive society.
