Singapore's first and only social service for the transgender community. This independent community initiative was set up by Miss June Chua and her late sister Miss Alicia Chua in June 2014. They realised that there were many gaps in the existing social service sectors, which did not address the needs of Singapore’s transgender community.

In June 2014, our first shelter was set up with the help of another NGO. The T Project shelter is the only social service in Singapore that exists specifically to cater to the female transgender community and transgender people living with HIV.  Our shelter program also provides suitable referral support to our residents to meet their employment, social, healthcare, and emotional needs.

We started our psycho-social programs by inviting registered social workers and counsellors to visit our shelter to offer counselling services to residents.

In June 2016, with the help of the community and allies, The T Project managed to raise approximately $130,000 to set up our current shelter. In July and August 2018, we managed to raise another $60,000 for shelter rent and operations in a campaign called ‘Project Re-Lease’.

We actively connect interested trans individuals (both resident and non-resident) to jobs that are trans-affirmative. The T Project also connects residents to a social worker if they are eligible for financial or medical aid.

We hope that with a safe, rent-free place to stay at, the residents will have stability and a sense of permanency in their lives. This will better enable them to plan for their futures.

We also conduct an ongoing volunteer recruitment drive to train volunteers to support shelter programs like our food ration drives and fundraising events.
