SAHARA, meaning support in Hindi, was founded in 1991 by a group of clinical social workers and physicians to address the unmet needs of the South Asian community in Southern California. Initially run by volunteers, SAHARA has since expanded into a fully staffed agency offering services for youth, older adults, and survivors of domestic violence.
Committed to providing culturally sensitive and linguistically specific support, SAHARA serves individuals of all ages, genders, ethnicities, and sexual orientations within the South Asian community. Their comprehensive programs aim to promote self-sufficiency, healthy aging, and leadership development, catering to the most vulnerable and marginalized members of the community.
