In June 2024, the Trans Safety Emergency Fund completed 3 years of existence. Thanks to many hours of volunteer work, support and trust from our community, we are finally able to have better structures and even paid positions. But we continue focused on making bigger moves and helping more Trans lives. And just like any other organism or organization, the process of growth includes changes.

A proactive approach is always a mindset that needs to be taken into consideration more seriously. Creating a self-sustaining ecosystem requires all the active components to be connected within the system without seeking external assistance. "We will help you" is a contingency plan, an extra, not a first phase of action when it comes to crisis and mitigation. Organisations, just to satisfy their donors and meeting targets might have started a chain of practices that may prove to be detrimental to the communities at risk.
"দেবেয়ানে, বান্ধায়ো না" translated as "You'll get it fixed, don't rebuild." A neighbor of Abdur Rahman advised him, indicating the support from a local NGO. This statement was intended to discourage him from taking immediate action to repair his home after a devastating cyclone. However, Abdur Rahman did not wait passively for assistance; instead, he took the initiative and restored his house himself. This simple statement resonates deeply, underscoring a prevalent mindset in many communities—a growing reliance on NGO support. When NGO workers or surveyors enter communities, it is common for residents to express their needs in hopes of securing aid. The assumption often seems to be that displaying a lack of resources will lead to assistance. While the approach to disaster response and development has evolved to encourage proactive community engagement, a dependency mindset continues to affect community behavior, sometimes leading to inactivity and reliance. Addressing this behavior is crucial, as material assistance alone will not yield sustainable development. Without shifting these dependency attitudes, support will provide only temporary relief, failing to foster long-term resilience and self-sufficiency.

It's been a while since I shared a newsletter link here. This one feels important. This week, seven aid workers for World Central Kitchen, an org I’ve been supporting this month, were killed on their way to deliver aid to starving people in Gaza. In solidarity, and in honor of these seven helpers, I wanted to offer a space to do the same. A place where we can grieve, and honor, these unique human beings. That space is here: https://lnkd.in/eBR_eu4U I also wanted to offer a few thoughts in this post in solidarity with all who sacrifice their time and energy to respond to human suffering, whether they are overseas or here in the U.S.. About how we can not just “look for the helpers” in moments like this, but really see them. By this I mean: - Seeing what helpers are like in their full humanity. - Understanding who is impacted and what is at stake for those who choose to take on difficult care work on behalf of the rest of us. - What happens when the helpers and those helped are alienated from one another - How we must all work towards better care for the ones who care for us. == Whether you are a self-identified helper yourself, or you love someone who is, I hope you’ll join me over there to ponder the questions, even if they have no easy answers.

Passionate Advocate for Positive Change | Director of Global Affairs & Advocacy at Habitat for Humanity International | ~15 Years of Government Relations + International Policy Expertise
You know what's awesome? Habitat's Home Equals advocacy campaign is awesome. This campaign is about bringing together remarkable Habitat organizations dedicated to dismantling barriers to adequate housing in slums and informal settlements. It's about committing to long-term policy and advocacy work, with significant progress already visible within just a year. And, it's about leveraging our collective voice globally to underscore the critical role of adequate housing in human development—education, health, welfare, and economic growth. While celebrating these remarkable efforts across 44 countries, I'm collaborating with my international team to get Official Development Assistance, ODA, to pivot towards investing in housing in slums for resilience and sustainability. We estimate that, shockingly, less than 1% of ODA from G7 countries is directed towards housing, slum upgrading, or urban resilience. It's a huge missed opportunity. Don't mind me shouting from the rooftops about how excited I am to celebrate one year of our five year campaign... Still so much to do, and I can't wait to see how far we can go.
Visionary C-Level Executive & Global COO at Habitat for Humanity International | Expertise in Transformational Leadership & Team Culture Development | Salzburg Global Fellow
This week, we mark one year since the launch of our global advocacy campaign, #HomeEquals, which seeks policy changes at all levels of government to increase access to adequate housing in informal settlements. We are thrilled with the incredible progress that has been made so far including: 45 policy or systems changes advocated for and successfully enacted at the local and national level in nine countries worldwide More than 3 million people living in informal settlements have gained improved access to adequate housing Over $63 million in government funds accessed for the development of adequate housing But our work is far from done. There are still 2.8 billion people worldwide lacking adequate housing, and nearly 1.1 billion people residing in informal settlements, with this number continuing to increase. We must continue to advance our efforts to change and accelerate policies to ensure a more equitable world where everyone has a safe and secure place to call home. Join us by learning more and pledging your support: https://lnkd.in/erCnPNGQ https://lnkd.in/evkHURQh
