The NHRF’s Colombia Office opened in April 2020!
We supported 104 projects
Many of our grantees were severely impacted by the pandemic, but they adapted and transitioned well despite the significant impact the crisis has had on their activities and communities
"The pandemic has posed numerous challenges to the way our organisation functions, however as far as activities are concerned, I think we’re now able to think out of the box." NHRF grantee from Pakistan
This annual report provides a snapshot of some of the victories of the critical human rights work that our grantees commit to amid this global decline and pandemic.
