What We Do
Meet the people, feel the issues
Our visits to meet the people, feel the issues increase awareness of thorny issues that are often hidden in plain sight. Bridging the gap that separates people experiencing problems from those who are in a position to help can be life changing for everyone. Most of the courageous groups and individuals we support are tackling tough, entrenched, often unpopular issues and struggle to attract funding.
