Hello everyone, please help and donate for Freedom Spectrum of East Africa. Wedo provide safe housing for queer communities in East Africa as seen in the image. A lot more lgbtiqa+ persons lack where to sleep and need support. Many lgbtiqa people especially in Uganda have been jailed because homosexuality was criminalized by the government of Uganda in the recent years. Our organisation helps lgbtiqa victims to be bailed out. We helpthose with medical problems like sicknesses get treatment.

We pay for rent for lgbtiqa+ people in East Africa especially those in South Sudan. Please checkout our website for more information, subscribe to our newsletter and donate so that we can change lives of lgbtiqa+ persons in East Africa.

LGBTQIA+ refugees in East Africa urgently need solidarity, visibility, and support

Hi everyone,

We are Freedom Spectrum of East Africa, a grassroots initiative led by displaced LGBTQIA+ refugees currently living in South Sudan near Gorom Camp and in Kenya at Kakuma Refugee Camp, supported by volunteers in Denmark and the United States.

Our community includes nearly 470 LGBTQIA+ refugees, including children, who have fled persecution, violence, and discrimination across East Africa. Many of us escaped our home countries hoping to find safety, only to face ongoing threats, attacks, homelessness, hunger, and severe discrimination inside refugee settlements.

Our mission, as stated on our website, is:

“To create safe, inclusive, and empowering spaces for LGBTQIA+ individuals across East Africa through support, advocacy, and visibility. We work to protect human dignity, challenge discrimination, and build a future where every queer person can live freely, proudly, and without fear.”

Right now, we are trying to provide: • Emergency shelter and protection • Food and basic necessities • HIV/AIDS support • Community care for LGBTQIA+ refugees and families • Long-term support and pathways to safety

We are reaching out here because Jewish queer communities understand deeply what it means to survive persecution, displacement, and hatred while still holding onto dignity, identity, and hope. Our current needs include; -Monthly $1800 for rent of a safe place in Juba South Sudan and we need to pay more months upfront -More shelters in the fence estimated to $3000 including toilets -food amd other supplies estimated to $1000 every month for all locations. -Urgent hospital fee of $1500 for a surgery of a trans friend in our community.
