Our Impact
We’re saving lives, one queer soul at a time.
From hidden shelters in Nairobi to the voices silenced in Uganda, we’ve helped over 250 LGBTQ+ refugees find safety, food, and hope. Every donation, every story, every act of kindness pushes back against fear and builds a future of dignity.
What we do
We provide shelter, food, protection, and hope to LGBTQ+ refugees fleeing danger in East Africa.
Advocacy & Awareness
We speak out for the silenced. Through storytelling and global outreach, we demand safety, rights, and freedom for our queer family.
Shelter & Protection
We offer safe housing to LGBTQ+ refugees who are escaping violence and persecution in Uganda, South Sudan, Congo, and beyond.
Food & Essentials
We provide meals, clean water, clothes, and hygiene products to help queer refugees survive with dignity and strength.
Skills & Empowerment
We help LGBTQ+ refugees learn new skills like bracelet making, art, digital outreach, and storytelling. These projects bring hope, purpose, and a path to self-sufficiency — even in the darkest times.
Our Numbers Tell a Story
These numbers are more than just data — they reflect real lives changed, meals served, and voices uplifted.
From a growing global community to thousands of meals and moments of hope, we’re proud to build impact day by day.










We are seeking global partnerships to expand our mission. Join us.





Every Night, One More Queer Soul Sleeps on the Floor — Help Us Give Them a Bed, a Meal, and a Future.
Right now, LGBTQ+ refugees are crammed into shelters with no beds, no food, and no peace. They’ve escaped violence, only to face hunger and fear again. Your donation can help us give them comfort, dignity, and the chance to dream again.

Help Us Protect Queer Lives in East Africa.
When I escaped Uganda, I had nothing. Today, I have a bed, a family, and hope—thanks to Mapenzi.
