Since its establishment in 1998, The Finnish NGO Foundation for Human Rights (KIOS) has supported a number of various kinds of Human Rights projects in different parts of the developing world.
Each country and each location has its specific human rights challenges, to which local organisations aim to react with specific human rights interventions. Be it through human rights education, reform of judicial systems, or advocacy for ending human rights violations, KIOS strives to assist the promotion of human rights for the most vulnerable.
Without the committed work of local organisations, KIOS would not be able to fulfil this mission. Thus a selection of innovative human rights projects that have received KIOS funding are introduced on these pages. It is the hope of KIOS that these examples will inspire actors in both the North and the South to continue working for the realization of human rights for all people.
