Rumah Kita: The Story of Our Becoming

Our latest report, “Rumah Kita: The Story of Our Becoming,” shares how Urgent Action Fund, Asia and Pacific (UAF A&P) came into being—through courage, collaboration, and the wisdom of sisterhood. As the youngest of the four Urgent Action Sister Funds, UAF A&P stands on the foundations laid by many, carrying forward a vision of decolonized, regionally grounded philanthropy. “Rumah Kita” means “Our Home,” what the fund has come to mean to countless activists building a more equitable and just world.
