WHO IS SOUTH ASIAN

Our Roots

‘South Asian’ is a broad term referring to people with heritage from countries including but not limited to Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Tibet.
We recognize that throughout history, South Asian individuals and families have been relocated across the globe. As such, we welcome people of Indo- Caribbean, Trinidadian, Guyanese, Indo- European and Indo-African heritage, as well as other South Asian diaspora with roots in places such as Fiji, Maldives and Mauritius.
We serve people from communities that are culturally related to South Asia including but not limited to the Middle East, North Africa, Syria, Iran and Egypt. We serve men, women, female-identified, transgender, non-binary, queer, lesbian, gay, bisexual, questioning, intersex and MSM South Asians of all ages and backgrounds. We serve youth, including LGBTQ* youth. We serve those who are struggling with substance use. 
We strive to serve and connect with South Asian communities across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).
