Our

Mission & Values

We are dedicated to safety and well-being of LGBTIQA+ refugees communities.

We are not a registered organisation or a Community Based organisation but rather a collective of advocates working hand in hand with our contacts in a Kenyan rural UNHCR refugee camp to strengthen, empower, and ensure safety and well-being of LGBTIQA+ refugee communities in there and we do it for non profit. We do this by supporting them with resources to pass them through their desperate times of shortage. We advocate for safe asylum and safe means to freedom.

Life at Block 13

LGBTIQA + people in Kakuma Refugee camp and Kenya at large continue to face serious hate violence acts and injustices all the way since 2014 when a bill of "kill the gay" was signed in Uganda and most nearby African countries. Since then, a massive search for asylum began and a struggle to support these people started as well.
