Organizations helping Ugandan LGBTQI Individuals

Let’s Walk Uganda: Let’s Walk Uganda is helping Ugandan LGBTQI individuals by providing food, shelter, HIV and sexual health counseling. With the passage of Uganda's Anti-Homosexuality Act, they are a target of the Security Services.  They bravely continue working to provide food and shelter for the Ugandan LGBTQI+ community. https://lwuganda.org/


SafePlace International: SafePlace International has shelters in a number of countries in the world, including several in Kenya. Their Dream Academy is a structured course for LGBTQIA+ displaced persons to reach their full potential through leadership development, socio-emotional learning, and employability skills training. Several of the people in our shelter are attending The Dream Academy. https://www.safeplaceinternational.org/

Rachel Maddow reports on the passage of a new "kill the gays" law in Uganda and the responsibility of the U.S. government to pressure Uganda to protect the human rights of members of the LGBTQ community, particularly in light of the reported role of American conservative evangelicals in supporting the legislation.
