Why Choose Us?

At Lakshya Trust, we believe that asking for help is an act of courage — and you deserve support that truly sees you. Our chat support platform was built by and for the LGBTQIA+ community, in partnership with Dr.'s Goodwill Foundation and PrideForPrep, to ensure that no one has to navigate their health or emotional challenges alone.

Every counselor and doctor on our platform is trained in LGBTQIA+-affirming care. They understand the specific pressures, stigmas, and realities that Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Hijra, and Koti individuals face — from navigating family rejection and mental health struggles, to accessing HIV/STI prevention and treatment without fear of judgment.

All conversations are end-to-end confidential. We do not share, store, or disclose any personal information. You can speak freely, knowing that what you share stays between you and your counselor.

Our support is available in multiple languages and delivered with cultural sensitivity rooted in the lived experiences of communities across Gujarat and India. Whether you are facing a health question, an emotional crisis, or simply need someone to talk to, we are here without conditions.

Mission & Vision

Our platform connects users directly with trained doctors and counselors through real-time chat, with no AI or bots, making every conversation personal, private, and meaningful. We provide a safe and inclusive space for LGBTQIA+ individuals to discuss health, mental well-being, and life challenges openly. Your privacy is our priority, and every interaction is handled with care, empathy, and understanding
