We are a charitable organisation and rely on the generous support of individuals and organisations. This support enables us to expand our research efforts, further develop our global network, and extend the reach and impact of our work.
Over the years, we have been able to support a number of projects and delighted to announce that we will have a small fund available for research soon and will be welcoming applications.
