Give Us The Floor nurtures a safe online peer-led community that supports LGBTQ youth in distress in their challenges.

We provide LGBTQ youth in distress with the peer-positive human connection that they are too often missing. We help LGBTQ youth deal with distress through inclusive, innovative and unique online peer Supportive Group Chats that provide constant contact and anonymity in a safe youth-only community, breaking the isolation and shame cycles they are experiencing. Trained youth facilitate the confidential groups and participants help each other with prevalent mental health and social issues such as depression, isolation, anxiety, identity, discrimination, bullying, relationships, domestic violence, and body image. 
Within the Supportive Group Chats:
- Youth in distress from all backgrounds and geographies have 24/7 access to peer support in a safe, non-judgmental, and confidential environment.
- Members communicate anonymously as often as they wish via closed group chats - no one on one communication is possible
- They share daily life struggles, insights and accomplishments, encourage each other and provide non-judgmental feedback without fear of stigma, taboo or shame
- Groups are organized by age and primary discussion topic to keep the chats relevant and relatable
- Youth who need adult help are quickly identified and given resources to help them.

Research reveals that increased isolation is contributing to the rapid deterioration of mental health and wellbeing. It’s affecting youth way more than adults: Experiencing social isolation and loneliness [during adolescence/ childhood] increased the risk of depression up to 9 years later. *

An international fund that supports women’s, girls’ and trans people’s movements around the world.

For Mama Cash and our grantees, change is not a buzzword or a distant dream. Change is the work we do every day to end exclusion and violence in homes, villages, cities and countries – and in our own social movements. Change is what we ask of ourselves, not just what we demand of others. Mama Cash was the first international women's fund in the world. Today, we fund and support women's rights initiatives around the globe that challenge the root causes of injustice. Activists and donors join with Mama Cash to advance social change that starts with gender equality and respect for the human rights of everyone. Each year, Mama Cash supports about 100 courageous groups, organisations, networks and women's funds that are led by women, girls and trans people. Our grantees are at the forefront of the fight for the rights of those who have most often been ignored or rejected not only by society but also by more mainstream funders.

Support economic empowerment for queer entrepreneurs: the power of the Pink economy!

The Queer & Allied Chamber of Commerce Africa (QACC Africa) was established to create an ecosystem that facilitates and promotes commercial relationships and widen supply-chains between queer owned and/or operated businesses, entrepreneurs and their allies, in nations throughout Africa. Although QACC Africa was formally registered in 2022, the underlying concept has been in existence since early 2021 when the three co-founders met and organised their first safe queer community event in Nairobi, Kenya. Our advocacy focuses on the principal of economic inclusion. To achieve its objectives, QACC Africa works closely with businesses, professional associations, multilateral business groups, and international, national, regional and community queer organisations. QACC Africa is the gateway for queer owned businesses and entrepreneurs throughout the continent to increase sales and strengthen business opportunities. Creating a strong network of queer and allied businesses and entrepreneurs, allows members to take their business further, finding opportunities with other queer entrepreneurs, businesses and potential investors. In time, QACC Africa will grow to be an incubator for queer start-ups and entrepreneurs to access both grants and investment. QACC Africa will establish a process and platform to certify queer owned and/or operated businesses, and those business allied to the community, that are truly inclusive. This will promote supply chain collaboration and procurement opportunities. Furthermore, QACC Africa will bring community members and allies together, and highlight the right resources for queer business owners, operators and entrepreneurs to be even more successful by providing professional capacity development through training, mentorship and the nurturing of talent. VISION: To facilitate a diverse and inclusive economy in Africa by establishing a dynamic and thriving commercial ecosystem for queer-owned and allied- operated businesses. MISSION: To promote and support the growth of queer-owned and/or operated businesses across Africa through training and capacity building, partnership formation, and networking in order to raise awareness about the impact of the queer economy and facilitate investment opportunities. OBJECTIVES: 1. To build and nurture queer and allied business trade, collaboration, procurement partnerships and supply chain corridors. 2. To strengthen queer owned and/or operated businesses and formalize queer entrepreneur's businesses. 3. To be an incubator for queer start- ups and entrepreneurs and be the hub for investors in queer and allied businesses. 4. To provide certification for queer owned and/or operated businesses, and allied corporates that actively support the queer community. 5. To advocate for economic inclusion and equality of access for the queer community. PROBLEM STATEMENT:  It is hard to truly know the statistics of the queer community in countries throughout Africa, however we all understand that just because people (and their businesses) may not be overtly "out and proud", the LGBTQ+ population in various African countries, as a percentage of population, can be considered and compared to other nations where statistics are available. If we consider Canada, which has a population of 38 million, smaller than most African nations, Canada is home to over 100,000 LGBTQ+ owned businesses. These businesses generate over US$16 billion in economic activity and employ over 435,000 Canadians. Therefore it is safe to assume that untapped LGBTQ+ business in Africa is big business and can be a driving force for economic activism and driving change on the continent: the power of the Pink Coin (Shilling, Franc, Dollar, Rand, etc). Throughout Africa, LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs face barriers, including having to hide who they were in business dealings to avoid losing opportunities, and the potential for exploitation by competitors, clients, employees, and government bodies. There is a growing number of individuals, organisations and companies looking to build business together – one connection at a time. A community of LGBTQ+ businesses, and even diverse procurement practices, will help tip the scales. QACC Africa incorporates all of these positive forces, quietly advocating amongst community and allied members, to make a more inclusive African economy, whilst recognising the challenges of each country on the continent.

Dedicated to advancing human rights in southern Africa, with a particular focus on LGBT people.

We are a grant-maker and a fundraiser to expand resources available for defending and advancing the rights of LGBTI people in Southern Africa.  
 
The Other Foundation  is a community foundation that protects and advances the human rights, well being, and social inclusion of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex people in southern Africa. It gathers support for those who are doing this work and gives support in a smart way that helps groups to work better for lasting change.  Currently, our primary purpose is to expand resources available for defending and advancing the rights of LGBTI people in  Southern Africa . We do this by working both as a grant-maker and a fundraiser. As a grant-maker, we support change through others, rather than directly ourselves. So we provide direct support to partners, while facilitating the building and sharing of knowledge. As a fundraiser, we focus on raising resources from a wide range of potential givers – particularly from within the region. One of the ways we intend to do this is by supporting campaigns to build awareness and reinforce appreciation for LGBTI people to enjoy their rights within a broader human rights framework. At present, we are located in Johannesburg, South Africa. 
 
 Contribute to a self-sustaining human rights movement in Southern Africa.

Support and protect LGBTIQ+ people in Europe.

Forbidden Colours collects and raises funds to support initiatives that help LGBTIQ+ people to fully live their lives in freedom with self-respect and dignity in Europe. They are also a leading advocate in exposing anti-LGBTIQ+ initiatives in Europe, and therefore conduct extensive advocacy with media, EU-institutions and member states. 

Forbidden Colours is a NPO linked to a fund managed by the King Baudouin Foundation, the major Belgian public benefit foundation, whose mission it is to contribute to a better society. 

We want all LGBTIQ+ persons to be able to get up every morning feeling it is okay to be who they are. We use our extensive network in the European institutions, and in several member states of the EU, to address the backlashes on LGBTIQ+ rights. With our media contacts across the world, we expose anti-LGBTIQ+ initiatives. By putting pressure through the media, we were able to put several cases higher on the political agenda.

The organization is considered as one of the most effective organizations to protect LGBTIQ+ rights on the European level. By closely monitoring the geopolitical forces behind state-sponsored anti-LGBTIQ+ campaigns, Forbidden Colours was able to expose several European governments for scapegoating the LGBTIQ+ community as a deception for their anti-democracy campaigns. 

They revealed cases such as the anti-LGBTIQ+ propaganda law in Hungary, an anti-LGBTIQ+ education reform in Poland and the needs of LGBTIQ+ persons fleeing Russia's war with Ukraine in the international media. With this, Forbidden Colours has gained the attention of the world media and has been featured in amongst others The Guardian, VICE & Sky News. The non-profit has led a campaign aiming to take down Hungary's infamous anti-LGBTIQ+ propaganda law. After 1,5 year of campaigning by Forbidden Colours, the Hungarian government was taken to the Court of Justice of the European Union. For the first time in the history of the EU, a member state was taken to court on the basis of violations of human dignity and human rights. Forbidden Colours was also able to convince the largest group of member states ever to intervene in a lawsuit against another member state.   

They also help organisations from all over the world to advocate more successfully at the European Union institutions and, for example, also works with local partners on the EU Global Human Rights Sanction Regime. Besides its political advocacy work, Forbidden Colours also works with the corporate world to create a more diverse, equal and inclusive workplace. They give trainings, keynotes and develop projects to raise awareness to the issues of the LGBTIQ+ community within the company. They also develop 'corporate social responsibility'-projects about LGBTIQ+ rights together with the corporate world. This helps companies to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.

Let's stand up together for rights and wellbeing of LGBTIQ people

It is time to STOP the anti-LGBTIQ rhetoric in Eastern Europe.

Do you remember the joy you felt when the Supreme Court fulfilled your deepest dream and made marriage equality the law for all Americans? We wish to feel the same joy and happiness and fulfill the dreams of millions of LGBTIQ people in Eastern Europe. Instead we are victims of growing anti-LGBTIQ attacks, rhetorics and sentiment thanks to "Kremlin like" politicians who use us as scapegoats for their political victory.  However we can put STOP to this. We can give LGBTIQ people in this region HOPE. We can win marriage equality in the Czech Republic. If it is possible in the Czech Republic, it will be possible in other parts of this region.  To make that happen, in April 2017 we launched a national campaign to secure a 'Yes' to freedom to marry in the Czech Republic.  WHY CZECH REPUBLIC?  
 
 67% of Czechs  agree with marriage equality 
 
 210 000 people  signed a petition for marriage equality 
 
 82 businesses  support the campaign
 
 We lead a conversation on marriage equality in the Czech Parliament since 2018: 
 The Parliament started to discuss a bill in November 2018 and continued the discussion in March 2019. 
 
 On April 29th, 2021 the bill passed the first vote in the Parliament after 1052 days  and was sent for further discussion in its Committees. 
 
 2021 General elections scrub all this work and we needed to start from the beginning!  
 
 On June 8th 2022  the bill on marriage equality was presented to the Czech Parliament for the 2nd time and waits for its reading. 
 
 Despite the fact that the conservative opposition is though and fuelled by evangelical resources, the society is behind the change and we will win it!  
 
 WHAT WOULD VICTORY MEAN FOR THE REST OF THE REGION? 
 Hope to million of LGBTIQ people in the region that change is possible and reachable! 
 "A slap" in the face of conservatives who are using LGBTIQ people as scapegoats! 
 WE NEED YOUR HELP! Become our International ChangeMakers,  donate and make marriage equality reality in the Czech Republic and bring a message of hope and dignity to so many LGBTIQ people in this post-communist region.  

 By achieving a 'Yes' to marriage equality here in the Czech Republic we can help to create a wave of equality change across Eastern Europe.   

Thank you for your support.

G4GC is a philanthropic organization with a mission to cultivate and mobilize resources in support of girls* of color. 



Grantmakers for Girls of Color (G4GC) is the primary national philanthropic intermediary exclusively committed to resourcing organizations and movements that center girls, femmes, and gender-expansive youth of Color. Since 2020, we have raised and awarded grants to 385 organizations in all fifty states, Guam, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico.







Building from the operational intention to resource movements working to elevate justice for girls and femmes of color ages 25 and under in the U.S. and beyond, G4GC leads with the notion of understanding philanthropy through a lens of reciprocity, intersectionality, and cultural responsiveness. With an infrastructure that reflects our values, a culture of partnership, healing, reciprocity, and love.

The four signature initiatives include: 

Love is Healing Fund: Launched in 2020 to provide grants to organizations directly supporting girls of color in the wake of multiple pandemics, including the COVID-19 pandemic. Funding priorities include: preventative or responsive health strategies ; interventions to support institutionalized girls of color and survivors of gender-based violence; economic and educational response strategies explicitly focused on girls of color; multigenerational immigrant justice organizing, and power building through organizing, participatory research and advocacy to amplify the needs and experiences of girls of Color and their communities. This fund also resources strategies to protect the security of youth organizers working to dismantle systems of oppression.

Black Girl Freedom Fund & #1Billion4BlackGirls campaign: Launched via an open letter in Essence magazine, the #1Billion4BlackGirls campaign is a ten-year philanthropic initiative to invest $1 Billion in the braintrust, innovation, artistic vision, health, safety, education, research, and joy of all Black girls and their families. Each year, a different theme is chosen by the co-founders, and a group of Black Girls, femmes, and gender-expansive youth ages 12-25 are recruited into a paid 8-week participatory grantmaking process. The articulation of priorities for the fund, Black girls are not just “recipients” of resources, G4GC’s Black Girl Freedom Fund provides a platform for the development of transferable skills that will increase their capacity to stake claim in their own liberation. 

New Songs Rising Initiative: In partnership with Seventh Generation Fund for Indigenous People’s Thriving Women’s Program, this initiative expands opportunities for Indigenous girls through grantmaking, convening, and community building, and mentorship and peer support through an upcoming fellowship program. Specific emphasis on Indigenous cultural work. Funding priorities include: multi-generational healing and organizing amongst Indigenous girls and women; advancing the capacity of Indigenous girls and women to resist state and colonial violence and gender-based violence particularly impacting Indigenous girls and women; art, music, and poetry to advance healing, safety, visibility, and movement-building for Indigenous girls and women. 

Holding a Sister Initiative:  Launched in the fall of 2021 and in partnership with the Black Trans Fund, this initiative centers what we call “new world-building” work led by trans and gender-expansive youth of Color. To date, this initiative has accounted for more $1.8 million in giving to trans communities, exceeding the average giving to trans communities among most national philanthropic institutions.

HRAPF provides free legal services to LGBTI persons and other marginalised persons in Uganda and engages in strategic litigation.

About HRAPF
Founded in August 2008, HRAPF uses the law as an entry point to contribute to a better legal and policy environment for LGBTI persons and other marginalised groups. We do this through enhanced access to justice, advocacy, research, strategic litigation, knowledge development, capacity enhancement and strategic litigation and strategic partnerships within Uganda. We are also actively engaged in the East African, Pan African and International human rights mechanisms, processes and movements.

Our vision
A society where the human rights of all persons including marginalised persons and key populations are valued and respected.

Our Mission
To promote respect and protection of the human rights of marginalised persons and key populations through enhanced access to justice, advocacy and influencing, research, strategic litigation and knowledge development, and capacity enhancement.

Our Slogan
“Taking Human Rights to All”

Our target constituencies

1. LGBTQ+ persons
2. Intersex persons
3. Sex workers
4. Persons who use and inject drugs (PWUIDs)
5. Refugees facing gender-based violence issues
6. Women and health workers in conflict with the laws on abortion
7. Vulnerable women, girls and the elderly facing land justice concerns
8. Women living with HIV/AIDS

Theory of change
HRAPF believes that increasing access to inclusive legal services, effectively advocating and influencing legal and policy reform, increased evidence and joint strategising, strategic engagement of duty bearers at local, national and regional levels and greater investment in strengthening capacities of marginalised groups and Key Populations to challenge oppressive norms, power structures and legal systems that normalize discrimination, will enable for marginalised groups and Key Populations to be fully afforded their rights and create a world where rights of all persons including marginalised persons and key populations are valued, respected and protected is built.

Our outcome areas
What we do
HRAPF has five major goals (outcome areas)

1. Sustained access to justice for marginalised persons and key populations
HRAPF champions equality and non-discrimination for marginalised persons and key populations by promoting and facilitating access to justice. A team of lawyers and a network of paralegals is always on standby to respond to emerging cases in order to redress violations that marginalised persons and key populations continue to face. We engage law enforcement agencies on violations of rights of our constituencies and document all violations and initiate interventions that seek to hold perpetrators of these violations accountable. We support the training and facilitation of community paralegals across the country and all our target constituencies to continue providing legal aid services through their structures.

2. Development of knowledge and jurisprudence for the promotion and protection of human rights of marginalised persons and Key Populations
We continue to be a key leader in the generation of knowledge on various dimensions of human rights of marginalised persons and key populations. Having merged some components of access to justice and research and advocacy, HRAPF is set to build a Centre for Law and Marginalisation to champion research and strategic litigation and provide robust legal solutions to violations of rights of marginalised groups and key populations.

3. Inclusive laws and policies promoting and protecting rights and the well-being of marginalised persons and key populations
We speak out and amplify the voices of marginalised persons and KPs in policy and legal development processes as well as challenge discriminatory practices and systemic and institutionalised marginalisation through advocacy and influencing strategies. We create, nurture, and or strengthen partnerships on the one hand with national bodies that are concerned with human rights. Through these partnerships, we will seek to influence the agenda on non-discrimination and equality at district, national, regional (East African and Continental) and international levels.

4. Transformed knowledge, skills and attitudes of marginalised persons and KPs and duty bearers leading to the promotion, respect and protection of the human rights of marginalised persons and Key populations
We consolidate all empowerment and capacity-building efforts through organising and conducting issue-based human rights training workshops and meetings targeting marginalised persons, key populations ((LGBTI persons; sex workers; women, girls and service providers in conflict with abortion laws; drug users; people living with HIV and; refugees) and duty bearers (police officers, media, judicial officers (specifically magistrates), parents, local leaders and health providers as well as state prosecutors and prison warders) to champion non - discrimination and reduce the marginalisation of key populations.

5. Strong and sustainable human rights organisation
HRAPF continues to strengthen its operational efficiency and financial independence buttressed by effective governance, sustainability, prudent risk management, internal development and a clear staffing structure that suits the organisation for sustainability, transparency, accountability, effectiveness and efficiency in delivering on our mandate.

Major Strategies
HRAPF’s five outcome areas are achieved through the following major strategies:

1)	Legal aid service provision: HRAPF facilitates access to justice in respect of violations of the rights of LGBTI persons and other marginalised persons and key Populations and health service providers through legal representation, mobile legal aid camps, alternative dispute resolution/mediation, community paralegals and documenting violations of the rights of marginalised persons and Key Populations.

2)	Advocacy and influencing: HRAPF challenges laws, policies, regulations, guidelines and practices that curtail and violate the rights of marginalised persons and Key Populations and proposes other possibilities. We also advocate for the integration of human rights in policies, laws, operational guidelines, frameworks and regulations and the application of constitutional values and principles and the rights-based approaches in the implementation of services. We do this through dialogues, public education, coalition building, and engaging with national, regional and international human rights spaces and mechanisms.

3)	Building and Strengthening Capacities: Using legal and human rights frameworks, HRAPF develops human rights awareness, promotion and advocacy capacities of CBO’s, NGOs and networks of marginalised persons and Key Populations groups and NGOs working on human rights issues. HRAPF also develops the capacities of duty bearers (including: political leaders, law and policy makers and implementers, law enforcement officers, judicial officers, local councils, families and communities and health service providers), prison warders on the rights of marginalised persons and Key Populations and their duties in the promotion and safeguarding these rights. We build capacities of rights holders, duty bearers, communities and key stakeholders to enable them pursue greater rights for marginalised persons and Key Populations. We do this through: training, tailor-made technical support, internships and mentorship, and legal awareness outreach sessions.

4)	Knowledge Development: HRAPF invests itself in expanding the pool of knowledge and encouraging debate through regularly undertaking legal analyses, simplifying and translating and disseminating knowledge resources such as: laws, policies and bills; position papers; human rights violations reports; research and baselines.

5)	Strategic Litigation: HRAPF challenges laws, practices and actions that violate the rights of marginalised persons and Key populations through the filing of cases before courts of law and tribunals. These are reinforced through research and documentation of human rights thereby enriching jurisprudence for the rights of a marginalised persons and key populations.

6)	Partnership Development: Nurturing and participating in strategic partnerships at the national, sub-regional, Pan African and global levels for the strengthening of the rights-based approaches and utilisation of legal and human rights mechanisms. This we do through coalitions and alliances, lobby meetings, engaging at regional and international human rights mechanisms and strategic interest litigation at national, EAC sub-regional and Pan-African regional levels.

7)	Programme Support: Building a sustainable organization that operates in an effective, efficient, professional and accountable manner. This we do through: prudent corporate governance; attracting and retaining a competent staff team; robust monitoring, evaluation and learning; resource mobilisation and risk management.

We provide in-depth, highly relational mindfulness education for youth and the parents and professionals who support them.

Young people deserve our best attention and the greatest support we can offer, especially when it comes to teaching them the tools and resources they need to nurture their minds, spirit, and bodies.

We stand on the foundation of a 35-year lineage of teen mindfulness which began with retreats offered in Barre, Massachusetts in 1989. Since our humble beginnings, we have grown to be the national leader in immersive mindfulness education with our beloved teen retreats having been offered to 4,000+ alumni.

With a belief that justice and equity are at the center of youth wellbeing, our offerings also include specific programs for affinity groups such as BIPOC and LGBTQIA+. Programs aimed at more systemic impact include our internationally accredited Teacher Training program and custom programming in partnership with schools and youth-serving organizations across the country. Our programs seek to complement and amplify the impacts of in-school programs and to expand the value and capacity that youth-serving professionals have for sharing in-depth mindfulness experiences with youth.

At their core, the diverse community of Inward Bound teens and adult leaders seek to create healthier inner and outer worlds. They come from the edges of toxic dominant cultures with the belief that another way of living is not only possible, but a fundamental right. Our extensive network of 120+ staff, teachers, health coordinators, and mentors are experts in the fields of youth development, mental health, and education, and have lived experiences that deeply reflect the teens they serve. They exemplify authenticity, compassion, and respect, upholding a strong code of ethics. In fact, some of our leaders today were participants in the first teen retreats offered in 1989.

Perhaps our most distinctive capacity for success is our Collaborative Leadership (CL) System which emphasizes shared decision-making and robust feedback, and creates more pathways for community members, especially youth, parents, and partners, to have increased input and investment. This organizational structure, which has no Executive Director, is the result of our equity commitments and examinations of how power is distributed within our organization. It was researched and developed for three years with the consult of international leaders in the field before being fully launched in January 2020. At the core of the CL System are the full-time staff and five standing committees that include a 9-member Youth Advisory Committee and 6-member Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Accessibility Committee. Need-based stipends are available to support committee member participation.

Help us heal and empower queer people and their place in the world! 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzXj-I12Ka0

we.are.village in Berlin is creating new ways that queer communities can connect, transform and heal. For the last eight years, we have operated a unique space for queer masculinities and femininities, transgender, non-binary, genderfluid, intersex and other gender non-conforming people.


Our goal is to help queer people create and embrace healthier, better connected and purposeful lives. We do this by nourishing individual and collective growth through working with the body, mindfulness, artistic expression, consent and a range of self-empowering tools and strategies. In the process, we tackle loneliness, lack of self-esteem, intimacy and addiction issues, dealing with discrimination and other intersectional challenges that limit and impact queer lives.


We have created a diverse and continuously adapting program of weekly and monthly events, community evenings, weekend trips as well as art exhibitions, performances, salon discussions and offerings via our online platform.


Although it was never our focus, we  have become a model for other cities and countries. We regularly host visitors and participants from all over the world and have seen an increase in international interest from individuals, other organizations, activists, artists, politicians or other practitioners wanting to find out more about our innovative model and methodologies.

Please contribute to our fundraiser that will support this international vision through our Queer Bridges Berlin and Village Academy Training programs.

InterPride brings together Pride networks and individual Pride organizations around the world.

InterPride is the international organization that advances the Pride movement by coordinating with global partners that share our values.

We are uniquely suited to carry out our work because InterPride:

- Works with and supports the visibility and development of Pride networks around the world, thereby contributing to the presence and influence of Pride efforts at regional and local levels.
- Gathers regional Pride platforms dedicated to producing Pride events for diverse global SOGIESC (Sexual Orientations, Gender Identities and Expressions, and Sex Characteristics) communities to learn and grow with each other.
- Manages, supports, and awards WorldPride™, global grant programs, and related initiatives.
In 1982, the National Association of Lesbian and Gay Pride Coordinators was formed in Boston, USA, with an initial membership of six USA Pride organizers. Over time membership has grown to include Pride organizers around the world, becoming InterPride in 1999. In 2021, membership totaled over 300 organizations from more than 60 countries. This growth has been matched by increasing diversity of membership. Since 2015, non-North American members have grown from 21% to 49%. This trend primarily reflects increased participation from Oceania and Global South (Africa, Asia, and South America).

The Pride movement continues to evolve. Pride has gained a presence in locations where it was previously absent or under-developed. There has also been significant growth in structures that gather Pride organizers together at a national or international level (known as Pride Platforms). This trend has created opportunities for InterPride to identify ways to better leverage regional knowledge to advance the rights of SOGIESC communities.

We place extra attention on HIV and STI education, support and prevention with the help of board member Dr. Joanna Kubica and the Smart Life Clinic in Warsaw.  After we took in our first LGBTQ+ youth to house on February 14th, 2023  we have been flooded with calls for housing and support from young people in need.  These are Polish Trans 18 year-olds from the Polish countryside in desperate need to escape their abusive and intolerant homes, young queer people with PTSD and untreated mental illness who need housing and support immediately, LGBTQ+ refugees from Ukraine and several young gay men from Iraq who suffered torture in their homeland, were detained and imprisoned at the Polish/Belarussian border for up to two years, and are now trying to build their lives in Poland.  We are also housing and supporting young LGBTQ+ people from Uganda and Egypt,  We are raising money to support the young people under our care, to house and feed them and pay for their medical needs and courses needed for them to start an independent life,  We are also raising money to hire staff (all of WH's work is now done by volunteers), to continue the renovation of our residential building and for short term emergency rentals.  We have a committed and professional team and a well planned strategy for both emergency and long term care.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!! We will be in regular contact if you'd like to hear of our progress and  if you'll be in Warsaw, we'd be delighted to meet with you personally and show you the work we do.

Support the first Brazilian philanthropic foundation for Black Women.

Contribute to racial and gender equity through the empowerment of black women in Brazil 
 
The Agbara Fund is the first Philanthropic Fund of Black Women for Racial Justice in Latin America, whose mission is to fight for human dignity, racial and gender equity by promoting access to economic rights for our target audience: individual black women, collectives and organizations of black women, offering technical and political training on race, gender/feminism and environment, as well as financial support. 

We originate in Black community, and ancestral philanthropic practices. We believe that by promoting access to economic rights, dignified work, and stable income for black women, who are usually women who are central to the sustenance of their family groups, we are contributing to:

- The reduction of domestic violence (because financial dependence subjects women to remain in cycles of violence)
- To combat environmental racism,
- Allowing black women to have access to decent housing and to spaces where they can claim environmental justice;
- To reduce child labor
- To reduce hunger;
- To reduce the occupation of jobs in unhealthy and undignified conditions;
- To increase the level of schooling of the black population. 

In general, we work for the social, economic, intellectual, and emotional emancipation of black women, as well as for the institutional strengthening of organizations led by these women.
