Kakuma refugee camp in North Western Kenya host over 2000 queer folks and it's been always difficult for the fellow refugees who are non lgbt and the host community locally known as the Turkana has totally failed to understand and accept the lgbtiqa+ people in thier community saying that they are devil.
We are denied work due to this bigotry. We are living in extremely hostile environment for LGBTQ
We continue to have hope that one day our situations will change until then we must continue to reach out for help in form of donations to help us necessities to support our survival.

Hello 👋,
I hope this message finds you well. My name is Aziz, and I’m reaching out with a heartfelt plea to help my family find safety and reunite with our mother. 😞
The ongoing war in Gaza has torn my family apart. My mother and newborn sister are stranded in Egypt, while I, along with the rest of my sex family members, am trapped in the midst of the genocide in Gaza. We have not only been separated but have also lost our home and are enduring unimaginable hardships. 💔
Your support can make a difference. Whether by reading our story, donating, or sharing our campaign with others, you can help us reunite, find safety, and start anew. 🙏🕊
Thank you, from the depths of my heart, for your kindness, compassion, and solidarity during this difficult time. ❤🍉

Does any one have any tips when using oil pastels? I try using them but they are always messy. I want to try and expand different art materials.
Hello world, hope this message finds you well. My name is Melvin a Ugandan gay man trying hard to survive unimaginable challenges and persecution, I am writing to share my story with you in the hopes of seeking assistance.
I've been a refugee for over 4 years, seeking safety and protection. Unfortunately, my journey has been marked by frustrating delays and disappointing refusals within the asylum system.
I fled my home country because I feared for my life after being physically attacked and threatened with death and arrest due to my sexual preferences and that it's a crime to be a gay in Uganda.
I sought refuge in Kenya but unfortunately, the government and local authorities were unwilling to provide aid to people in my situation. The trauma and hardships I faced in my home country only continued in this new land. I got some assistance and managed to make it to Kalobeyi refugee camp in the north western Turkana region but while there I met other Igbt refugees who fled from Uganda and other East African countries. It was very difficult for me to stay in the camp because of the miserable situation upon queer refugees we had to go through daily.
Desperate for a better life and future, I made the difficult decision to travel to Sudan where I am currently residing. However, I am unable to access basic necessities like food, medical care and other services. Here also I was able to find 250 Igbt refugees but we are living in fear and hiding from the government because it is highly prohibited to be an LGBTQ+ individual in this country.
Upon arrival at the camp, I shared the little resources I had with fellow refugees, demonstrating my willingness to help.Recognizing my leadership potential, I was appointed as a leader for a group of 15 refugees, comprising men, women and children.
In this role l've been responsible for distributing scarce resources, and providing emotional support to my fellow refugees. Despite the difficulties, l've remained committed to helping my community and advocating for our needs.
However, our situation is critical. We're unable to access basic needs like food. We're struggling to survive, If you're able to help us, please do so.
Your kindness would be a lifesaver to us. We're grateful for any help, no matter how small
Thank you for taking the time to read my story and considering our plea.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
I'm sharing my story to raise awareness about the challenges faced by refugees like me. We need a fair, efficient, and compassionate asylum process.
Please consider donating or sharing my story with your friends and family
