Four Pillars of Change

Building Resilience Through Action

Our comprehensive approach addresses immediate needs while fostering long-term empowerment and systemic change for the LGBTQ+ Ugandan community.

Emergency Housing

We provide temporary housing for those in immediate crisis. Our support is discrete, vetted, and designed to provide a lifeline when all other doors are closed.

  • Emergency Harbor: Access to a confidential network of safe housing for those displaced by state or societal violence.
  • Mental Health Counselling: Private access to counseling services that understand the specific trauma of systemic erasure.

Economic Sovereignty

Justice is impossible without independence. We focus on rebuilding the financial lives that have been stripped away by discrimination.

  • Professional Re-entry: Discreet job placement and skills training for community members who have been terminated due to their identity.
  • Sovereignty Grants: Funding and mentorship for small, independent businesses that provide financial security away from homophobic work environments. We also offer a Digital Business Training which enables members to run digital businesses, hence earning an income that isn't dependent on a homophobic employer
  • Resource Navigation: Guidance on accessing essential services without revealing sensitive personal details to hostile institutions.

Re-education & Advocacy

While our support is quiet, our truth is loud. We use evidence-based reality to dismantle the myths that keep our community in the shadows.

  • Scientific De-mystification: Providing clear, accessible data that counters the "foreign import" myth and explains the biological reality of diversity.
  • Documented Resilience: We are a secure platform for sharing the stories of LGBTQ+ Ugandans, ensuring queer history is preserved and queer humanity is recognised.
  • Ally Toolkits: Resources for activists and allies to effectively challenge misinformation within their own circles using law and fact.

Digital & Physical Safety

Operating in the shadows requires elite security. We equip our community with the tools to remain invisible to those who wish them harm.

  • Digital Security Training: Workshops on encrypted communication, data privacy, and navigating the internet safely in a surveillance state. Our Digital Fortress Training equips members on encrypted communication (Signal/VPNs), metadata scrubbing for shared stories, and protecting their digital footprint from state surveillance.
  • Safety Protocols: Vetted guidance on physical security and emergency exit planning for individuals and small groups.
  • Secure Connection Hub: A protected point of contact for the community and the diaspora to coordinate support without detection.
