I stand in solidarity with trans people, especially those in Kenya, Uganda, and across East Africa. They face immense challenges, discrimination, violence, and daily injustice. Trans rights are human rights, and we must keep fighting for dignity, safety, and equality for all. 🏳️‍⚧️✊

This is what we’re up against in Uganda.

LGBTQ+ people are being dehumanized, hunted, and erased, our identities condemned as “un-African,” our existence criminalized, and our lives threatened every day.

This image is not from the past. It reflects a terrifying present where love is illegal, dignity is denied, and hate is normalized.

We, at Mapenzi Q***r Foundation, are doing everything we can to shelter, protect, and uplift LGBTQ+ refugees fleeing brutal persecution. But we are not safe. We are not funded. And we are not enough.

We need our global family.
We need voices louder than this hate.
We need allies who won’t turn away.
We need donations, advocacy, and solidarity, now more than ever. Please reach out if you can.

Being LGBTQ+ is not un-African. Hate is.

These are LGBTQ+ refugees in Kenya, brave souls who fled violence and persecution, only to find themselves sleeping on bare ground, under a torn roof, with nothing but thin mats and shattered hope.

At Mapenzi Q***r Foundation, we are doing all we can, but we cannot do this alone. These refugees urgently need a safe shelter to rest, heal, and survive. We are seeking help to rent a secure place, somewhere they won’t be hunted for who they love.

Please, if you see this:
Advocate. Donate. Share. Stand with us.

Their lives are not a tragedy. But ignoring them is.

Happy Mother’s Day from Mapenzi Q***r Foundation

Today, we celebrate all mothers, those who gave us life, those who raised us, those who held us through the darkest nights, and those who chose to love us when the world would not.

To the q***r mothers, trans mothers, chosen mothers, and every soul who has nurtured another with love and care, you are seen, you are honored, and you are deeply cherished.

In our shelter and among our community, we have witnessed the power of maternal love in the most unexpected places, in the hands that shared the last meal, in the hearts that offered comfort to strangers, and in the arms that opened to q***r refugees with warmth and protection.

To all mothers around the world: thank you for your strength, your sacrifice, and your love that knows no borders.

With love and solidarity,
Mapenzi Q***r Foundation

Q***r Refugees in South Sudan Are Trapped—And They Need Us Now

The heartbreaking report by 76Crimes reveals the suffering of LGBTQI+ refugees stuck in Gorom camp, just outside Juba, South Sudan. These brave souls fled unimaginable horrors in search of safety, only to face more discrimination, fear, and silence.

At Mapenzi Q***r Foundation, we are trying to help. We are speaking out. We are connecting with those suffering in the shadows. But the truth is, we can’t do it alone.

We need global allies, organizations, churches, activists, anyone who believes in human dignity, to stand with us.
These are not just statistics. These are people. Families. Q***r lives on the edge, forgotten and voiceless.

Please read, share, and speak up. The silence is costing lives.

To our friends and partners at UNHCR,

On behalf of the entire Mapenzi Q***r Foundation, we extend our deepest gratitude for the vital support and shelter you have provided to LGBTQ+ refugees in both the camps and safe spaces in Nairobi. Your assistance has been a lifeline, because of you, many of us are alive today.

However, as we celebrate the shelters that offer us protection, we must also acknowledge the urgent humanitarian needs that remain unmet. The LGBTQ+ refugees in our care, and countless others, are unable to work due to their legal and security status. Many go days without food, basic hygiene products, medicine, or even clean water. Their survival depends entirely on the support of kindhearted institutions and individuals.

We humbly ask UNHCR, along with allied organizations and global human rights defenders, to kindly intervene and stand with us. Please partner with Mapenzi Q***r Foundation to ensure that LGBTQ+ refugees fleeing persecution from Uganda, South Sudan, Congo, and beyond can access food, clothing, medicine, and dignity.

We are a small grassroots organization doing everything in our power to help those in desperate need, but we cannot do it alone. Together, with your advocacy, resources, and support, we can save lives and restore hope.

Please don’t turn away. Let’s stand together.

To Our Global LGBTQ+ Family: Thank You, But Please Do Not Stay Silent

From the heart of East Africa, from the courage-filled walls of our humble shelter in Nairobi, and from every q***r refugee who has fled persecution with nothing but hope in their chest, we say thank you.

We thank you, the international LGBTQ+ community, allies, organizations, and kind souls who have stood with us in love, solidarity, and action. Your support is more than words. It is food on our tables. It is shelter over our heads. It is the light in the dark moments that many of us feared we would not survive.

Here at Mapenzi Q***r Foundation, we are doing everything in our power to protect, uplift, and advocate for LGBTQ+ individuals fleeing unimaginable horrors in countries like Uganda, South Sudan, and the DRC. Many arrive beaten, scarred, hunted, but still brave. Still full of the will to live, to love, and to be free.

But we cannot do it alone.

We need you. Still.

We ask you, with all the love and urgency in our hearts, please do not stay silent. Silence kills. Silence gives room for hate to grow. Your voice matters. Your advocacy matters. Your support saves lives.

Please continue to speak out. Continue to share. Continue to amplify our voices and fight for policies and protections for q***r people everywhere, especially in places where being LGBTQ+ is punishable by law, violence, or death.

We believe in a world where love wins. Until then, we keep fighting with your help.

Thank you for not forgetting us. Thank you for walking this road with us. Thank you for proving that q***r love and global solidarity are unstoppable forces.

UGANDA: KILL THE BILL, NOT THE G**S!

At Mapenzi Q***r Foundation, we stand in fierce resistance against Uganda’s Anti-Homosexuality Bill, a cruel and violent attack on human rights.

LGBTQ+ Ugandans deserve safety, dignity, and equality, not persecution.

This is not just a Ugandan issue. This is a global human rights crisis.

We demand justice.
We demand protection.
We demand EQUALITY.

Join us. Share this. Speak out. Support q***r lives in East Africa.
