Be the Bridge to Freedom: Help LGBTQ+ Refugees Escape Persecution in Africa

The Crisis: A Life in Hiding 

In Uganda, a 22-year-old gay man named David (name changed) sleeps in a different location every night. After a mob outed him, his family disowned him, and his landlord evicted him. Now, he lives in fear of arrest—or worse—under harsh anti-LGBTQ+ laws.

In Nigeria, Amina, a transgender woman, was attacked by vigilantes and lost her job. She dreams of safety but has no way to escape.

Across Africa, LGBTQ+ individuals face imprisonment, violence, and death just for being who they are. Many are trapped with no way out—but you can change that.

The Escape: A Dangerous Journey

Leaving isn’t easy. Even if someone flees, they face:
✔ No money for visas or flights
✔ No legal help for asylum applications
✔ No safe housing upon arrival
✔ No community to support them

Without help, many are forced into hiding, exploitation, or deportation back to danger.

The Solution: A Global Lifeline

This is where you come in.

We’re building a U.S.-based LGBTQ+ rescue network to:
✅ Fundraise for emergency evacuations
✅ Organize legal aid for asylum seekers
✅ Find host families & sponsors abroad
✅ Mobilize donations (clothes, laptops, funds)
✅ Advocate & amplify their stories

Legal Advocates (Lawyers/Paralegals):

Help LGBTQ+ refugees navigate complex asylum applications, visa processes, and legal pathways to safety. Your expertise could mean the difference between deportation and freedom.

Fundraising Champions:

Plan charity galas, crowdfunding campaigns, or community events to raise lifesaving funds for emergency relocations, housing, and legal support. Every dollar brings someone closer to safety.

Social Media Amplifiers:

Use your digital skills to share urgent stories, mobilize supporters, and grow our movement. A single post could connect a refugee with a sponsor or donor.

Emergency Supporters (Donors):

Your $50 could cover a plane ticket out of danger; $500 could secure a flight to an asylum. No amount is too small: every contribution saves lives.

Whatever your skills, you can be a lifeline.

Give LGBTQ+ individuals in Africa a better life.

Join us and help in your way. Any gesture on your part will be welcomed.

The LGBTQ Africa exists to empower, protect, and advocate for the rights, dignity, and well-being of LGBTQ+ individuals and communities across Africa.
