THE LGBTQube
The Rubik's Cube with its inherent complexity mirrors in many ways the intricacies of human existence - of identity and of expression.
Just as a cuber solving a Rubik's cube encounters brand new patterns and combinations of colors with each move, so too a person progressing through life encounters identities that are new and different from their own with each passing day.
It is only by accepting and progressing through a suite of combinations can a cuber solve a Rubik's cube. Perhaps then, in life too, acknowledging and accepting diversity should be a necessary step in our collective journey to understanding who we are.

THE CAUSE - TRANS-HEALTH
(1) Trans-persons face widespread discrimination at healthcare institutions
(2) There are significant lapses in knowledge of trans-specific health issues among healthcare workers
(3) Trans-persons who live off of daily wages/beggary face huge opportunity costs to access care
Reach Lives through its network of healthcare partners is launching a remote healthcare camp program for trans-persons-in-need across Bengaluru. These camps are organized close to or within trans-settlements and are designed to be affordable, accessible and free from discrimination.
GIVE THE GIFT OF HEALTH
Rs. 1,000 per year is all it takes to meet all the health requirements of a person-in-need including routine healthcare and specific interventions including occupational health interventions such as HIV screening and treatment, mental health counselling, genitourinary and reproductive health consultations and procedures.
However, donations of all sizes are welcome - no contribution is too small or too large.

ABOUT REACH LIVES
Reach Lives has been working with trans-communities in Bengaluru through healthcare, nutrition and livelihood support programs.
