Dear respected donors,
We are grateful for the donations received so far, though the amount is still not enough to begin the physical shelter. While we prepare for the full launch, we have been closely monitoring reports of violence, threats, and persecution faced by members of the LGBTQI+ community in Nigeria. Sadly, some incidents have resulted in loss of life.
In the meantime, we have provided virtual counselling and emotional support through WhatsApp and other online platforms. This has allowed us to remain in contact with those in danger, listen to their experiences, and offer a safe space for them to share their concerns.
We sincerely thank everyone who has contributed to this cause. Your support is helping us lay the foundation for a place of safety. We look forward to receiving more donations so we can open the doors of the shelter and provide the urgent protection many people need.
Thank you for saving lives.
Sincerely,
Ugbede-Ojo Dominic Kadiri
