Our Mission in Africa

The Global Network of Rainbow Catholics (GNRC) is committed to fostering inclusivity and acceptance within the Catholic Church, with a special focus on Africa. Our mission is to support LGBTQ+ individuals and communities by promoting dialogue, understanding, and respect. We collaborate with local partners to address social justice issues, provide educational resources, and advocate for equal rights.
Established to create a more inclusive Church, GNRC works tirelessly to ensure that all individuals, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity, feel welcomed and valued. In Africa, our efforts are centered around building strong networks, supporting grassroots movements, and amplifying the voices of marginalized communities. Through workshops, conferences, and advocacy campaigns, we strive to create a world where everyone is recognized as equal in the eyes of God.
