Support Hwn pretty and Samalie with living costs

Donation protected
Hello everyone, I’m fundraising for Hwn pretty and Samalie Lukwago, two LGBTIQ activists, human rights defenders and asylum seekers who have been living in a refugee camp for the past five years. They have always stood out to defend LGBTIQ rights and vocally speak about the injustices that they face as LGBTIQ people. Their activism and gender identity is not hidden and has exposed them to alot of physical and psychological torture in the past few years.

Unfortunately they were forced to flee from the country where they were seeking asylum to another country because they have faced inhumane challenges, been discriminated against, police arrests and raids at their residence, been accused of promoting and recruiting boys into homosexuality by the host community, and threats to be killed, bullied and physically attacked because of their sexuality.
Currently their living conditions are the worst a human being would never think or wish someone to live, such as sleeping outdoors in the rain with no mosquito nets or shelter. 
‘Each day that goes by they face these challenges which leave them in tears and makes them traumatised and think they do not matter. They have no solution since they can’t work because no one wants to employ them since they are LGBTIQ people. Many people like them have been forced to flee but the country we are in is not better. They are with three trans women trying to makes two ends meet but this place is not better.’
‘ We are suffering out here with no resources at all. We are barely hanging on and we are seeking for your assistance in any possible way that you can. We have no food, the shelters are uninhabitable, we sleep outside with no blankets, we dont even have containers to store some water. The situation is dire. Please find it in your heart to consider looking into our plea…’
