Safety and Well-being
This program looks to explore ways in which the lives of the LGBTQ+ persons across the continent are protected, being diverse and tailored to meet the individuals’ lived realities. It includes approaches such as mental health, SRHR, security, self-defense training, integration of theology and sexuality as some of the safety approaches.
Art & Creation
This program utilizes art as medium for shaping a thriving queer nation with multiple forms of art that actualizes a free queer world.
Research, Culture, Documentation and Dissemination
Research is one of the biggest missing link between queer lives and the history of queerness. This program fosters research that looks at queer history and footprints of queers in the African continent.
Citizenship project
Queers exist in multitudes and diversities, as such, most if not all of them have gender identities outside the binary. This program offers queer folx a sense of belonging both in communities and citizenship through name changing, adoption and foster parenting, owning property and safehouses in our multiple countries of work.
Legacies Project
This program recognizes that queer lives are erased both in life and death, it prioritizes the memorialization of queer lives and provides documentation that secures queer persons’ possessions and memories after they pass on. The legalized document highlights the wishes of a person and how they want to be celebrated after they pass on.
Queer Futures
The threat on queer lives to access sustainable sources of income and ways of living is continuous. This program is aimed at equipping the queer nation with the skills they need to better their lives such as, scholarships, economic empowerment initiatives and agency building.
