Micro Rainbow International Foundation (MRIF) is a charity registered with the Charity Commission in October 2016. MRIF’s vision is to contribute to a world where lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and intersex (LGBTI) people can achieve their full potential in life and have equal access to employment, training, education, financial services, healthcare, housing, places of faith, and public places and services.
We work globally to help LGBTI people achieve their full potential in life and have equal access to employment, training, education, financial services, healthcare, housing, places of faith, and public places and services.
We do so through three main programmes: economic empowerment and advocacy, emergency housing and support and social inclusion. For each programme we have a target to achieve in 2020. You can help us achieve these targets by fundraising for us. Your support will change LGBTI lives. We have also listed some examples of how small income generating activities can promote LGBTI equality in Cambodia and how as little as £36 can prevent homelessness of LGBTI asylum seekers in the United Kingdom.
In August 2020, Micro Rainbow International Foundation ran an online survey to better understand the impact of Covid-19 on our beneficiaries and other low-income LGBTI entrepreneurs in Brazil.
MRIF held its first online training for low-income LGBTI entrepreneurs in Brazil between June and August 2020. Find out how the training enabled participants to mitigate negative impacts of Covid-19 in their businesses and personal lives.
International development banks are starting to move forward with more LGBTI inclusive policies. The MRIF has played a major role in advocating for these changes and will continue to make sure there is an LGBTI seat at the table.
