WE ARE
Unapologetically Queer
Unequivocally African
Undeniably Feminist
Success Capital is a proudly African and unapologetically Feminist LGBTIQ+ Youth led, managed and serving organisation that links grassroots experiences with global and regional mechanisms.
This is achieved through strengthening and safeguarding agency in the form of voice and visibility within human rights, sustainable development and the systemic frameworks that impede LGBTIQ+ Youth from thriving in socio-economically complex environments.
Success Capital’s work is centered on three pillars: a) participatory decolonized knowledge production, b) peer to peer systemic knowledge sharing and c) supporting variant forms of civic action and participation.
We are radical, we are bold and we will not be stopped.
