Donate and support us
August 23, 2023
Hivos works for a world where individual differences are respected and people can realize their full potential. A world where together, people fight the power imbalances that perpetuate inequality, rights violations, social injustice, and environmental degradation.
But hard-won gains are being rolled back everywhere. Courageous environmental defenders, LGBTIQ+ activists and champions of the rights of women and girls are under attack. They face daily violence and harassment, and their organizations risk being closed down.
By donating, you can help us build and strengthen social justice movements, support change-makers who confront systemic oppression, and throw a lifeline to activists in danger.
Where your money goes
Please join us in our mission to achieve a fair, equal and sustainable world. Here are some examples of the people and actions we support:
- In Nepal, Senegal, Tanzania, Kenya and Nigeria, we work with innovative women entrepreneurs. They had recently started their own sustainable businesses when the Corona pandemic broke out. Thanks to our individual donors, we helped 1300 get through the crisis and emerge even stronger. Now they can continue fighting against both inequality and climate change.
- Since 2017, Indigenous leader Alexandra Narvaez has been fighting to protect the Ecuadorian Amazon. With support from our All Eyes on the Amazon program, she and her community got a provincial court to annul 52 mining licenses granted by the government, thus saving 79,000 hectares of pristine rainforest.
- With support from individual donors, we can help LGBTIQ+ activists flee life-threatening situations with the Bessy Ferrera Fund. Named after a trans rights activist murdered in Honduras in 2019, It provides activists immediate assistance that can mean the difference between life and death.
