Welcome to Vanatheeram Foundation, an initiative of The Society for Transgenders and Tribals Relief, dedicated to fostering dignity, harmony, and pride for the transgender and tribal communities of India. Since our founding in 2015, we have been on a mission to eliminate the stigma and marginalization that these communities face, striving to provide them with equal opportunities to thrive in mainstream society.
Our Mission
At Vanatheeram Foundation, we envision a world where every transgender and tribal individual can live with dignity and pride, free from prejudice and discrimination. We are committed to empowering these communities through education, skill development, and economic opportunities, ensuring they have the tools they need to build a better future for themselves and their families.
