Sambhali Cafe

Sambhali Café is a pioneering initiative in Jodhpur, representing an important step forward in Rajasthan's journey towards inclusivity and diversity. Managed by members of the LGBTQ+ community, Sambhali Café goes beyond serving coffee or meals—it stands as a symbol of empowerment, resilience, and hope for a more inclusive society.

In India, LGBTQ+ individuals often face discrimination, social isolation, and limited opportunities. Sambhali Café was created to help change that by offering a safe space where people can express themselves, gain valuable skills, and feel a sense of belonging. It serves as a reminder that acceptance and unity can exist, even in challenging environments.

Located within Sambhali Sarai, a center for empowerment and learning, the café reflects the values of Sambhali Trust. It is a warm, welcoming space that aligns with the United Nations’ goals of promoting equality, decent work, and growth. Profits from the café support social programs that help enrich and uplift lives.

Sambhali Café isn’t just a place to eat and drink—it’s a movement. It’s a step towards a world where everyone, regardless of who they are, feels valued and included.
