Trans Wellness Project Vision: SOGIE freedom in the rural areas

Mission:
We are a Trans wellness organisation that transforms lives by advancing health, wellness, and equality.

There are many organisations in South Africa, and Africa at large, that are focused on advocacy and lobbying for the human rights of trans people. There is a need for an organisation that provides psychosocial support to trans people and their significant others. While the founder/director was working for a trans human rights organisation and after left the organisation, she experienced that a lot

of trans people were approaching her for psychosocial support. She also notices that before trans people start their medically transitioning process; there is a lot of psychosocial support. Soon after the trans person is on medical treatment or have surgical intervention, the support falls away. Grootte Schuur Hospital is trying to provide this support but due to a lack of personnel and funding, they cannot give enough psychosocial support that trans people need. These were motivational factors that lead to the starting of the organisation. Talks on starting such an organisation started in April 2015 already but papers were only signed in June 2015. The organisation was first named and registered as the Protea Psychosocial Support Project for Transgender People.

The Trans Wellness Project mourns the passing of one of our constituents, Christin Stevens. Christine have been with the organisation since the start of the organisation. She passed away last week Wednesday after a very very short sickness. Christin was an openly transgender woman who resides in Lutzville. She endured a lot of challenges as a transgender woman in her life. She was one that was always full of life and who can make anyone in her company laughs. We send our condolences to her family and close friends. Trans Wellness Project had lost one of our valued constituents.

Christin’s funeral will be this coming Saturday, 2 May in Vredendal. Tran Wellness Project are seeking assistance with transport for our constituents in Matzikama to attend the funeral. Any person or organisation that can assist may reach out to Whitney Booysen @ 0736367470 or [email protected]

May her soul finds peace which the earth could not gave her wherever she is.
