The American Jewish World Service (AJWS) has created the "Urgent LGBT Uganda Fund" in response to the proposed anti-gay legislation that would broaden the criminalization of same-sex relationships in the African nation. A donation website has been set up for those wanting to make a difference.
As AJWS president, Ruth Messinger, said in the press release:
"AJWS's work is propelled by a very basic value: the essential dignity of every human being...We are especially reminded of this in supporting the work of LGBT communities around the globe."
Established in Boston in 1985, the AJWS is an international development organization committed to fighting hunger and poverty, while advocating human rights and promoting the values and responsibilities of global citizenship within the Jewish community.
