We provide support to the broader LGBTQ+ community, especially in the context of homo/trans prejudice, stigma and human rights abuse. We also network with Civil society and state organizations to ensure that issues and concerns get raised in the relevant context and that non-discriminatory policies are adhere to.
LGBTQI+ individuals experience higher barriers to accessing mental health care and safe, community spaces that support individuals through homelessness, multiple discrimination, crises and trauma.
The Pride Shelter Trust is Africa's first formal haven that provides short-term accommodation to the LGBTQI+ during crisis periods. We offer accommodation, counseling, wellness and skills development programs for our residents on an ongoing basis. These resources allow our residents to upskill and grow confident in their identities. This protects and safeguards the LGBTQ+ community's mental and physical health.
Ultimately, The Pride Shelter hopes to promote dignity, respect, and a sense of personal empowerment among members of the LGBTQI+ community.
