Our Origin
How We Started
We began our work by conducting a twelve-month study to understand the needs and priorities of the LGBTIQ community in Migori and Homabay. Our study found that existing laws were a major barrier to equality.
In effect, these laws convey to Kenyan society that LGBTIQ persons “are criminals,” and should be treated “as you would a criminal.” This has allowed for ongoing and unfettered discrimination of the community — resulting in no meaningful involvement, even from partners who provide services to the community.
"NOTHING ABOUT US WITHOUT US"
