At Rainbow Haven, we are committed to providing a safe haven for LGBTQI+ asylum seekers who find themselves in precarious situations, often fleeing persecution based on their sexual orientation or gender identity. Our mission is clear: to offer support, protection, and hope to those who have been forced into hiding and are seeking refuge in safer countries.
In many parts of the world, LGBTQI+ individuals face discrimination, violence, and even death due to their sexual orientation or gender identity. This is especially true in Africa, where legal protections for LGBTQI+ rights are often lacking, and homosexuality remains criminalized in several countries. As a result, many individuals are forced to flee their homes in search of safety and acceptance.
Rainbow Haven provides a lifeline to these asylum seekers, offering essential services such as safe housing, food, and psychosocial support. Our goal is to ensure that LGBTQI+ individuals have access to the resources they need to navigate the asylum process and rebuild their lives with dignity and resilience.
One of the biggest challenges faced by LGBTQI+ asylum seekers is finding a safe place to stay while they await resettlement. Many are forced to live in hiding, fearing for their safety and unsure of where to turn for help. Rainbow Haven provides a refuge where individuals can find temporary shelter, access to basic necessities, and a supportive community that understands and respects their identity.
At Rainbow Haven, we believe that everyone deserves to live authentically and free from persecution. By providing a safe haven for LGBTQI+ asylum seekers, we are not only saving lives but also working towards a more inclusive and compassionate world.
Join us in our mission to support LGBTQI+ asylum seekers in Africa and beyond. Together, we can make a difference and create a world where everyone can live without fear of discrimination or violence based on their sexual orientation or gender identity.
