Project Report | Jul 27, 2023
Fighting to remain ME.

By Mbarara Rise |

Dear valued donors, 
We're supper excited that our project is making an impact to fight for the rights and restoring lives of the LGBTIQ in Uganda. 

Currently, we have been able to provide emergency food and accommodation assistance to 100 members, bail out other 52 members from the police custody that where previously arrested as the result of the anti homosexuality Act 2023, offered medical care services to 82 members. 

As of now, there is an active increase of mental health illness that need our kind support, medical expenses, bail out more members that have been arrested and charged with promotion of homosexuality, relocate more members facing life threatening consequences because of being who they are, also as an organization, the act has significantly impacted us and our work might be limited in terms of reaching far places to support folks. 

Wth this kind regard, we come before you to thank you for your generosity towards impacting more people facing the ill anti homosexuality act. 
After seraval months of threats and intimidation by the general population faced by Tata, a transgender woman, she shares her peom with us. "Please read"

There is nothing wrong with me. 
My name is not sinful as the society states,
My own name is not a sin, and I can’t tell you who the hell set things up like this
but I can tell you that from now on my resistance I'm simple and nightly self-determination

I continued to be determined to be my self without fear of prejudice. 
If I die now, still there will be more Tara's in different forms. I'm a beacon of my own name.
I have lived in denial or exsitance of my own self. 
I cry to be myself, to own my name. I'm forever my own name.
kind regards
