Kayemba reached out to me. They haven't had much progress with their fundraiser. <3 Here is him speaking about what has led to this situation.

VETTED!

So far...

We thank anyone who takes the time to donate and share this campaign!

$13,900/$25,000

This is a community of LGBTQ+ refugees who are suffering. Recently, some of our members have been jailed for fighting back against people stealing their shelters at night, and they were tortured in lock up. Cases involving refugees, especially LGBTQ+ people, are often ignored or met with violence.

They are deep in the desert surviving on tea leaves and hot water, porridge for the kids, breastfeeding mothers and those who are HIV positive.

Donations will go towards stockpiling food, paying for hospital bills, negotiating with officers and setting up shelters.

My name is Augustine kayemba and I am a queer Gay refugee originally from Uganda. Today, I live in Juba Town, South Sudan, where I lead and represent a group of over 850 LGBTQ+ refugees each one a survivor of unimaginable pain, persecution, and abandonment.

In Uganda, being queer is treated as a crime punishable by life imprisonment or even death. I grew up hiding who I was, terrified every day of being discovered, outed, or killed. In 2019, after facing repeated threats and brutal attacks, I fled for my life to Kenya and found refuge in Kakuma Refugee Camp. But Kakuma, meant to be a place of safety, became another place of horror. Queer refugees there are routinely attacked, denied medical care, and forced to live in fear and isolation. I witnessed and experienced the kind of suffering no human being should endure.

Still, I chose to become a voice for those who had been silenced. I spoke out. I advocated. But speaking out made me a target again. When threats escalated, I relocated with other LGBTQ+ refugees to Gorom Refugee Camp in South Sudan hoping, once again, for safety. But there was no peace waiting for us. South Sudan is a country in the middle of a violent civil war and one of the most dangerous places on earth for queer people. Here, being LGBTQ+ is criminalized, and punishment can mean life imprisonment or death.

Recently, the South Sudanese government forced us out of Gorom camp altogether, claiming they could no longer guarantee our safety. Since then, we have been living in Juba Town a bustling city where queer people are especially vulnerable. The Islamic fundamentalist communities here are deeply hostile toward us. Many of our members are forced to sleep on the streets. Some are sick with malaria, typhoid, untreated infections, and HIV/AIDS, and have no access to doctors, hospitals, or even basic medicines. Others are starving. We are barely surviving.

Our members include children, trans women, gay men, lesbians, and intersex people. Some have been raped. Some have died from preventable illnesses. Some have never had a safe place to call home. The heat reaches over 45°C (113°F), and we shelter under torn plastic sheets or unfinished buildings. There is no protection from the elements, no food security, and no medical care. The recent ban on U.S. funding to programs that support LGBTQ+ refugees has only deepened the crisis. Those of us who were in line for resettlement are now stuck, forgotten, and at risk every day.

Despite all of this, we continue to fight for survival. We still believe in our right to live, to love, to be free. I share my story not just for me, but for the hundreds of queer souls I represent each one carrying trauma, and yet still holding on to hope.

We urgently need your help.

If you want to support us or learn more about our ongoing struggle, please follow the links below. Every act of solidarity counts. Even $20 can provide a month of shelter for one person. Together, we can save lives.

### Pride Message:

To my beautiful LGBTQIA+ refugee family and allies around the world:

This Pride, we carry our stories, our struggles, and our **unbreakable spirit** wherever we are. For every queer refugee across East Africa and beyond, Pride is more than a month or a parade – it's a defiant act of **existence**, a celebration of **resilience**, and a powerful reminder that **we are not alone.**

Despite every challenge, every displacement, and every act of hatred, our light shines brighter. We stand in our truth, finding strength in each other and in the universal message of love and acceptance.

May this Pride fill your hearts with courage, solidarity, and the knowledge that your identity is valid, powerful, and beautiful.

**Happy Pride from the LGBTQIA+ Refugee Community in East Africa!** 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️✨

Hello dear, it’s A. Kayemba here.

I hope you’re doing well. I’m reaching out with an urgent request.

We are a group of over 400 queer refugees from South Sudan, currently living in Gorom refugee camp. Right now, the government is forcing us out of the camp at gunpoint. We are terrified and running out of time. We urgently need to raise funds to relocate either to a safer place within the region or another country where our lives won’t be in danger.

I’ve made a video explaining our situation, but TikTok is censored in my region due to harsh anti-LGBTQ laws. Could you let me know how I can send it to you so you can help post it? We also have a GoFundMe campaign running to support our emergency relocation.

We’ve been given just 10 days, and every moment truly matters. Please help us bring attention to our situation. Your support can save lives.

With love and gratitude,

Kayemba A🏳️‍🌈

**URGENT CALL FOR SUPPORT: QUEER REFUGEES FACING EVICTION IN GOROM, UGANDA!**

Our queer community in Gorom refugee settlement is in immediate danger. The government has issued orders for them to be chased from the settlement, leaving them with absolutely nowhere safe to go.

These vulnerable individuals face unimaginable risks if forced out without protection or alternative housing. They are already marginalized and now face further persecution and violence.

**We are appealing for urgent attention and intervention!** The lives and safety of our queer siblings are at stake. They need immediate support to secure a safe place to live and find peace of mind.

Please share this message widely. Every share, every voice, and every act of solidarity can help bring much-needed awareness and put pressure on authorities and humanitarian organizations to act.

**Their lives depend on our collective action. We must not let them be abandoned.**

🌸 From One Mother’s Heart – Please Read 🌸

My name is Saja. I’m a wife, a mother, and a woman who once believed her story would be simple. I thought my days would be filled with watching my daughter grow — from her first smile to her first steps — surrounded by the small joys of everyday life.

But life had other plans.

War has returned to our home. Again. And once again, we find ourselves living under skies that never seem to rest.

There was a moment — a fragile, breathless moment — when the bombs paused and the world seemed to remember us. It gave us hope. We thought maybe, just maybe, we could start to rebuild. But now, we are back in the dark — hiding, holding on, praying.

I’m writing this not as someone seeking pity, but as a mother who has no other choice but to speak.

Imagine holding your baby in the middle of the night, not because she cried, but because the world outside roared too loud for either of you to sleep. Imagine whispering bedtime stories not to lull her into dreams, but to keep the fear from settling into her tiny bones.

This is my life.

This is my daughter’s life.

And even now — especially now — I believe in softness. I believe in kindness. Because when everything else is taken from you, hope becomes the most valuable thing you have.

Why I’m Reaching Out Our home has been damaged. Our lives changed. But through it all, my daughter wakes up every morning with a smile. She reaches for me with trust, with love, with faith that I will keep her safe.

That’s why I keep going.

I’ve launched a campaign to ask for help — not because it’s easy, but because silence is no longer an option. I am asking for support not just for me, but for my baby, and for the quiet strength of so many mothers like me who are fighting, every single day, to hold their families together.

How You Can Help: 🤍 Help us restore parts of our home so we can live with dignity 🤍 Support women and mothers in Gaza with access to care and resources 🤍 Keep the light of hope alive for a generation born in the shadows of war

💛 If you can, please support our journey here:

If you can’t give, please consider sharing. Your voice might be the reason someone else hears ours.

From My Heart to Yours Maybe our lives are worlds apart. Maybe you’ve never lived through war. But if you’ve ever held a child and wished the world could be better for them — then you understand more than you know.

I don’t want my daughter to grow up thinking the world turned away.

Please, if you’ve read this far — thank you. Thank you for seeing us. Thank you for caring. We are still here. Still hoping. Still holding on to every kind act like it’s a lifeline.

With love and endless gratitude

Dear friends and supporters, on behalf of all the LGBTQ asylum seekers and refugees currently at Gorom UNHCR camp in South Sudan, I would like to thank all those who gave of their generosity to donate funds to help us in these challenging times. It's perhaps difficult to grasp how alone we feel and how threatening being LGBTQ can be in much of Africa, where our lives are literally at risk because of being who we are. Your constant support is heartening for us and deserves a simple response: thank you. Happy Easter to everyone.

Lastly and very crucial,Brian has to get back to hospital for yet another x-ray and cement but it needs 800$ any donations counts to our cause.

EASTER CELEBRATTION LGBTQIA REFUGEES GOROM REFUGEE CAMP SOUTH SUDAN:

Easter is around the corner and for us queer refugees in the camps, it’s more than a holiday.

It’s one of the few rare moments we gather as a community, share a meal, and forget if only for a day the pain, rejection, and daily persecution we face.

This Easter, we’re hoping to raise $2800

 to host a simple but special community dinner a moment of joy, love, and togetherness for those of us who’ve had to fight just to survive.

With your help, we can afford a decent meal, drinks, and the chance to smile again even for a night.

Stand with us. Donate, share, or show your support. Let’s make this Easter joyful together.🏳️‍🌈🙏

In solidarity 👌
