This #LesbianVisibilityDay, ORAM is proud to celebrate the incredible work of @FLBQR (Foundation for Lesbian, Bisexual and Queer Refugees) — a refugee-led community-based organization in Kenya, built by and for LBQ refugees.

What happens when ORAM's global team unites? Impact, collaboration, and stronger support for LGBTIQ refugees around the world! ORAM Germany's Program Manager, Camille Ogoti, recently visited ORAM's Kenya team in Nairobi.

During her visit, Camille gained deeper insight into ORAM's programs in Kenya and how they make a life-changing difference for LGBTIQ refugees. From housing assistance and skills training to livelihoods support and community-building initiatives, ORAM's impact continues to grow.

@funds4disaster "Our partners in Kenya were asking for this kind of training. The LGBTIQ refugee community also saw a gap in programming and wanted more support. I'm glad we did this." – Kennedy Mwangi, ORAM Program Assistant.
