Our Story
A Community-Led Movement
Born2Win Social Welfare Trust is a Transgender person-led organization that works towards the empowerment of members of the Transgender community in Tamil Nadu. It creates positive role models within the community and facilitates education and employment opportunities.
What began as a small effort in 2013 has grown into a recognized force for change — acknowledged by national bodies, supported by volunteers, and most importantly, trusted by the community it serves.
Our approach is rooted in lived experience. Being led by a Transgender founder means we understand the challenges intimately, and design our programs accordingly.
