Global Disaster Relief
US
Parivar Bay Area co-founded and leads the diverse coalition
of organizations directly supporting local queer and trans folx with rent & housing, food support, medication, and targeted vaccination drives. Our coalition was the largest COVID coalition on the West coast, raising over $220,000 in funds and serving over 3000 beneficiaries across 9 counties, overwhelmingly trans/gender-non-conforming people of color.

Guyana
To support 12 trans women in the South Asian Diaspora in Guyana who lost their households due to flooding, Paribar Bay Area raised close to $15,000 to replenish their pantries, provide interim shelter, and ensure their medical wellbeing as torrential rain and the coronavirus made it impossible for them too.
