I was honored to be part of the East Africa Human Rights Program training in Arusha, Tanzania.

This experience brought together passionate advocates committed to advancing human rights across the region. Engaging in meaningful discussions, sharing experiences, and learning from one another has strengthened my commitment to continue advocating for dignity, inclusion, and justice for all.

Grateful for the knowledge gained, the connections built, and the collective vision we share for a better future. ✊🌍

JHRPC Food Support Appreciation 🙏🏽🍽️

We are deeply grateful to .are.alight for supporting JHRPC with food donations through our shelter program. Food is a basic and essential need, and this support has made a real difference in sustaining the well-being of those we serve.

Thank you for always thinking of us and for your continued commitment to doing the doable for vulnerable communities 💙

In the spirit of sharing, we also extended a portion of this support to individuals living independently within the community. It may not be much, but it goes a long way in providing hope and sustenance.

Together, we continue to build a community rooted in care, sharing, and solidarity ✨

We are pleased to share that Joyful Hope Resource Platform Center JHRPC participated in the Refugee & Asylum Seekers Convening, held on 26th and 27th March 2026, convened by UHAI EASHRI.

This important two-day convening brought together organizations and community representatives working with refugee and asylum seeker communities to reflect, engage, and co-create stronger responses to ongoing challenges.

During the convening, we engaged in meaningful dialogue around key guiding questions, including:
• What key discussions remain unresolved in ensuring refugee and asylum seeker communities are thriving?
• What question should guide collective action and organizational response moving forward?

We are grateful for the space of shared learning, solidarity, and collective reflection with partners and communities committed to advancing refugee and asylum seeker rights and wellbeing.

At Joyful Hope Resource Platform Center (JHRPC), we were honored to host Michelle Lee, a PhD student from Northwestern University, who is conducting important research on how organizations support refugees and host communities in accessing digital work opportunities.

It was a great moment of learning and exchange as we came together with our partners — RISO and Team No Sleep CBOs — to share experiences, challenges, and opportunities around digital skills and livelihoods.

Conversations like these are vital in amplifying the voices of refugee-led organizations and shaping inclusive pathways into the digital economy.

We appreciate Michelle for creating space to listen, learn, and engage with our communities.

This month, we celebrate bis*xuality and the amazing individuals who live authentically every day. Bis*xual people are often misunderstood or overlooked, so this is a time to recognize, honor, and uplift bis*xual voices.

💜 What we celebrate:
• Visibility and representation
• The courage to embrace your true self
• Breaking down stereotypes and myths

Let’s create a world where everyone, regardless of who they love, can live openly and proudly. 💛💙

🌍 International Condom Day | Promoting Safe, Healthy & Dignified Lives

Today, on International Condom Day, Joyful Hope Resource Platform Center (JHRPC) joins the world in promoting safe s*x, informed choices, and the right to health for everyone.

Access to condoms is not just about prevention — it is about:
✔ Protecting lives
✔ Preventing HIV & STIs
✔ Preventing unplanned pregnancies
✔ Promoting dignity and bodily autonomy

For LGBTQI+ persons, refugees, and other marginalized communities, access to accurate s*xual health information and protection remains limited due to stigma and discrimination. This must change.

We call for:
🔹 Equal access to s*xual and reproductive health services
🔹 Stigma-free healthcare environments
🔹 Comprehensive s*xuality education
🔹 Policies that protect everyone’s right to health

Safe s*x is a right. Health is a right. Dignity is a right.

We woke up this morning to the heartbreaking news of the passing of Joan Amek, Executive Director of Rella Women’s Foundation, who tragically lost her life in an accident yesterday. We are still in shock. Joan was someone we had spoken with recently, and it is hard to accept that she is no longer with us.

Joan was a strong pillar in our community—a passionate and courageous leader whose dedication, advocacy, and voice touched countless lives. Her loss is deeply painful and leaves a profound gap in the movement she so selflessly served.

On behalf of Joyful Hope Resource Platform Center (JHRPC), we extend our heartfelt condolences to her family, her partner, the Rella Women’s Foundation team, and the entire community. May we find strength and solidarity in this difficult moment.

May Joan rest in eternal peace. 🕊️ Rest well, Joan. You will never be forgotten.

SRHR is a right — not a privilege.

Q***r asylum seekers in Kenya continue to face barriers accessing safe, inclusive, and dignified Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) services.
Discrimination, fear, and exclusion should never determine who gets care.

Access to SRHR means:
✨ bodily autonomy
✨ mental well-being
✨ freedom from violence and stigma
✨ the right to live with dignity

We stand with q***r asylum seekers.
Health care must be inclusive, affirming, and human-centered — for everyone.
