We are LGBTIQ folks living in East African refugee camps ( Kakuma and Gorom.)
Unfortunately, these camps are hostile communities for us. We face regular attacks, an added layer of discrimination, increased homophobia, hatred, serious death threats, persecution, brutality precarious living conditions, restricted access to NGOs, and injuries inflicted upon us.
We are now facing acute starvation due to cut off funds from the USA through the World Food Program (WFP) and USAID.
This has led lesbian members to resort to selling their bodies to afford food and pads, and children are seeking food in garbage disposal dustbins.
We are therefore seeking your support, advocacy, assistance, guidance, and collaboration in addressing this urgent matter so that we can at least survive and thrive.

WE STAND IN SOLIDARITY AS WE ARE RAISING 15,000€ FOR 1000 INDIVIDUALS.
If donations increase, we will help more people. The funds will facilitate the costs of monthly food, medication, and other survival necessities — mostly pads, clothes, soaps, and construction of shelters — so that we can at least reduce the risks for lesbians and children.
Every pound you donate will make a great and real, significant impact on innocent lives, helping us to survive and stay healthy in these homophobic and difficult refugee camps.

Our goal is to raise 15000€ to save lives
This money will be divided transparently between Kakuma and Gorom for
With 15000€ we can provide
.5000€ =food for 200 families (maize ,beans ,oil, sugar for monthl)
.3000€=Clean water-jerrycans,water treatment and transport
.3000€= Medicine ,soap and hygiene kits for women and children
.2500€= Shelter-tarpaulins,blankets and mats for 150 families
.1500€= school books ,uniforms and pens for 300 children
=Total :15000€ for over 1000 people

Let's join hands in supporting them, whether through raising awareness, providing resources, or simply extending a message of love and acceptance to those who might donate. Every action, no matter how small, can make a significant difference in our lives.
Together we can help raise these lost souls, giving them the hope and recognition they rightfully deserve. Your voice can at least make a real difference in securing a better future for us.
