Dear friends and partners, you are at the web-site of the Human Rights Fund “Progress”. Our work is aimed to develop local democracy where separate strong local communities create the real unified democratic civil society, based on the principles of human rights and the rule of law.

Through the protection and promotion of public interest we are increasing the capacity of civil society and influence on lawmaking. Through advocacy campaign we are changing the system of values and create a tolerant, open society with cultural diversity. Through education programs we are developing a culture of justice and leadership of the most powerful parts of our society – young people, who are always seeking for change.

We are open to cooperation and invite all active, ambitious and progressive-minded people to join in the activities of our fund.

We are absolutely convinced of the correctness of the chosen path. Through mutual support and joint efforts, we can change our city, our region, our country! We have much more chances to reach our goal if we work together.
