The majority of our funding comes through grants from trusts and foundations, development organisations and governments. We rely on voluntary income to meet the costs of our activities and have only limited opportunities to generate earned income.

We do not accept funding from any source that has disregarded the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in the course of their activities, carried out environmentally harmful practices or that is involved in the extractives, timber or arms industries.
