AbleChildAfrica specialises exclusively in advocating for and supporting
disabled children and disabled young people in Africa.  We want to see a
world in which all disabled children are able to achieve their full
potential and fully participate in the world around them.  In order to
achieve this we support partner organisations to carry out life changing
work with disabled children and disabled young people and work alongside
them to use their experiences and learning to campaign for more
widespread change in attitudes and practice.  This year we will launch a
campaign to increase the number of disabled children in Africa accessing
an education.  The launch will take place at the House of Lords on 16th
June.

A.S.I.S. is innovatively committed to meeting the needs of young people who are – or are at risk of becoming – homeless in Bucharest, through personalized support and counselling. In the mean time, A.S.I.S. has a major role with young people who leave the state orphanages. We provide them with supported living accommodation and intensive independence training. In this way our organization has pioneered a preventive approach to youth homelessness in Bucharest. A.S.I.S. has developed a series of interventions to meet the needs of young people at different stages in adapting to more dignified living situations.   
Since October 2007, within the new “Family Counselling Centre” Program, A.S.I.S. has extended its assistance to the youngsters’ families too, aiming to enable their potential family reintegration. This program also addresses to the particular needs and characteristics of other poor families in Bucharest and neighbourhoods, aiming to prevent and diminish family abandoning.

BTRF is committed to establishing a new conservation paradigm. It aims to foster and dynamically promote the planning, development and implementation of model conservation areas in Borneo, which will not only be embraced by the local communities directly concerned but also by the public and private sectors at large.
BTRF's core mission is the long-term protection and management of Borneo’s critically threatened rainforests. These are being depleted in the Indonesian provinces of Kalimantan at a rate of 1'500,000 hectares a year - with consequent grave implications for global climate change patterns given that deforestation in the tropics accounts for ten to 20% of the carbon released into the atmosphere by human activity.

FARM-Africa is an international non- governmental organisation that aims to reduce poverty in eastern and South Africa. We work in partnership with marginal farmers and herders, helping them to manage their natural resources more effectively and build sustainable livelihoods on their land.
Whether improving small-scale dairy goat farming, working to resolve conflict with pastoral communities or developing new roles for villagers to manage forests, we know that with even a little assistance, African farmers can dramatically improve their own well-being. 
Our projects in Ethiopia, Kenya, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, and more recently Southern Sudan, concentrate on three key themes:

-Pastoral Development
-Community Forest -ManagementSmallholder Development & Land Reform

GOLD Peer Education Development Agency (GOLD) is a dynamic non-profit organisation playing a key role in the transformation of selected underserved communities in South Africa and Botswana through the roll out of the GOLD Peer Education Model.
The GOLD Model, developed by GOLD, is a pioneering intervention strategy that targets young people to address the behaviours and beliefs at the root of the HIV/AIDS pandemic. GOLD collaborates with viable community based partners to implement the model.
The model is implemented within a developmental framework by skilled peer education facilitators who equip adolescent leaders to influence their peers and younger children.
The model strategically targets high school level opinion leaders. These young people become  catalysts to bring about personal, group and community transformation to combat the devastating effects of HIV and AIDS.
The model is cross-cultural, values and rights based, and enhances and strengthens the life-orientation curriculum within the classroom. The establishment of relationships with all community stakeholders for example schools, clinics, churches and police is central to the success of the programme.

Hives Save Lives - Africa is the brainchild of Richard Unwin. He was disillusioned by the apparent lack of impact that aid is having on the lives of the most disadvantaged communities in Africa, and sceptical about how much benefit reaches those who needed it most. He was searching for a means of combating poverty that would be delivered directly to those most in need without engendering further aid dependency.
Apiculture was the solution. Beekeeping has a long tradition in Africa, but is not commonly practiced as a commercial activity because of lack of resources and training. In many countries, 'honey hunting' rather than bee farming is the norm, whereby natural colonies or traditional log hives are often destroyed to collect the honey, with little consideration given to sustainable management or the potential for income generation.
By introducing better equipment and training, beekeeping can provide a viable income for people who, in many areas, are living on less than 60p a day.

Tower Building, 14th Floor

Stonewall was founded in 1989 to campaign against Section 28 of the Local Government Act, an offensive piece of legislation designed to prevent the so-called 'promotion' of homosexuality in schools; as well as stigmatising gay people it also galvanised the gay community.

Since then, Stonewall’s campaigning has led to a catalogue of legislative changes giving lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) people protection and equality at work, in the services we use and in relationships, including the introduction of Civil Partnerships in 2005.  

Stonewall continues to lobby, educate and campaign, as changing the law is actually the easy part; the toughest challenge remains, and that is to overcome prejudice
