Campaign Overview:

This Christmas, we invite you to join us in spreading love and compassion to marginalised LGBTQ+ individuals in Uganda and Kenya, where discrimination and violence against the community are pervasive.

Your generosity can light up their lives and give them hope for a more inclusive future.

How Funds Will Be Used:

- Care Packages: Assemble and distribute care packages with essential supplies to those in need during the festive season.

Call to Action:

Let’s come together this holiday season to show that love knows no boundaries. Your donation, no matter how small, can make a significant difference in the lives of those facing discrimination.
