Continuous Support of the LGBTIQ+ Community

ORN is mindful of the fact that more work needs to be done to properly establish the organization and this will take some time and that donors and partners would have to be mobilized to support the work of the LGBTIQ+ movement in Namibia. It is also important to note that resources, infrastructure and financial management capacity would take a while to be fully established.
