For more than a year now, we have been working hard to end homelessness among the LGBT youth in Tanzania and also give the opportunity to build a better future. ; Thanks to our supporters and well-wishers for helping we realize this dream.
Through your support and the community grant this year we are offering permanent shelter to five LGBT homeless youth, providing meals clothes and medical care and sponsoring sponsor 8 LGBT youth to go different collages to obtain skills in the following courses:
1. Certificate in Front Office Operations (2 years course)
2. Certificate in Dressmaking and Design (2 years course)
3. Certificate in Hairdressing (9 months course)
The goal of this project is to continue widening the ability to support more LGBT youth on a sustained basis and reduce the number of LGBT youth who live on streets and the involvement in risk behaviors by building them to become good citizens and future leaders.
There is still a need for funding so that we can be able to sponsor 32 LGBT youth in 2016. Kindly continue supporting us.
A storry from Nathan:
“When I was a child my dream was to become a fashion designer but my dream died when I was kicked out of my family and relocated to Dar es Salaam, my life changed because I had no home no relatives but only a few gay friends who could help me but they also had no money. Later I learned about LGBT Voice went to their office requested to volunteer, that is when things started changing, I’m now enrolled in collage and after 2 years,, my dream will come true.”
