Dear Friend,
2025 began with alarming news from the U.S. government, with policies and rhetoric that threaten the rights and safety of queer people—not only in the U.S. but around the world, including here in Chile. These actions send a dangerous message, fueling discrimination and putting LGBTQIA+ communities at greater risk. Despite these challenges, we remain steadfast in our mission to bring hope to LGBTQIA+ children and youth. Now more than ever, we are committed to creating safe spaces, fostering acceptance, and ensuring that every young person can grow up free from violence and fear.
Our work is a testament to the power of resilience, and together, we will continue building a future where all queer youth can thrive.
At the beginning of the year, we reflected on the challenges and achievements of 2024, using those lessons to strengthen our strategies and expand our impact in 2025. This year, we are deepening our collaborations with key stakeholders- including embassies that support our mission, It Gets Better, and other public and private institutions—to coordinate efforts that advance LGBTQIA+ rights and create safer, more inclusive spaces.
We also launched our Back to School campaign to promote our program Hora Segura, ensuring students have free access to emotional support as they return to school. Educational spaces should be safe for all, and we remain committed to making that a reality.
No matter the challenges, we will always share a message of hope—because every LGBTQIA+ child and youth deserves to know they are never alone. Your generosity makes this work possible, helping us create safer spaces, provide essential direct support, and push for lasting change.
If you believe in a future where all young people can thrive, please consider making a donation today. Every contribution strengthens our mission and brings us closer to a world free of discrimination and violence.
Thank you for standing with us. Together, we are building a brighter future.
