About Us
We were formed with the aim of being a localised solution to a global problem; the continuous exclusion and discrimination of youth on the margins, especially those that express the diversity of sexuality and gender.
We respond to this by working with individuals who are constantly on the margins of existence such that they can reframe the psychological and ideological boundaries of participation in life.
VISION
Our aspiration is to foster well-being for gender and sexual diverse persons in Africa and beyond.
Our vision is an ambitious and essential goal that reflects the urgent need to address the persistent discrimination and marginalisation faced by the GSD community. By working towards this vision, the Taala Foundation is advocating for a world in which every individual, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity, can enjoy their fundamental human rights and live with dignity, respect, and freedom from violence and discrimination.
MISSION
We promote the wellness of gender and sexual diverse persons persons such that they can achieve their full potential to make an impact on society.
Our mission is a critical and much-needed initiative that addresses the long-standing neglect of the physical, mental, and social health of the GSD community. By prioritising wellness, the Taala Foundation is advocating for a holistic approach to addressing the complex and multifaceted challenges faced by GSD individuals.
