Background
Love Equally is a campaign that has been developed by the Thami Dish Foundation through support and funding with GIZ, (the German Agency for International Cooperation).
The “Love Equally” Project encourages inclusion and the challenging of homophobia and homophobic bullying within tertiary educational institutions in South Africa.
We aim to inform, create awareness and provide training and capacity building through training, sensitisation and activations on multiple TVET Colleges throughout Gauteng.
In 2024, the Thami Dish Foundation, in partnership with Higher Health, began implementing the campaign in TVET Colleges around Gauteng.
