About Us:

The Guantanamo Survivors Fund was founded in 2022 to raise and disseminate funds to former Guantanamo prisoners. Often exiled to third countries, many still suffer from the physical and mental effects of what they endured in Guantánamo and experience social isolation and economic hardship because they have been labeled terrorists who require government monitoring.

Initiated by Witness Against Torture, No More Guantanamos, the Muslim Counterpublics Lab, Healing and Recovery After Trauma, and others, the fund provides resources for explicit needs such as medical care, education and training, and basic living needs to the extent possible.
