Homosexuality is criminalised in over 70 countries and in many others society discriminates against LGBTI people. This means that in many countries LGBTI people are rejected by their families and communities, they drop out of school without qualifications, become homeless, struggle to find employment and to access public services. They live in poverty.

Against this background, the MRI Foundation promotes activities that enable LGBTI people to achieve their full potential and have equal access to opportunities in life. #endLGBTIpoverty
