All Out helped fund a mental health support project for LGBT+ Ugandans

After the harsh anti-LGBT+ act came into effect in Uganda early in 2023, LGBT+ people are being attacked by their families, their communities, their churches, and society.

They are facing a new emergency: a mental health crisis.

According to Tom Twongyeirwe, National Coordinator at the Universal Coalition of Affirming Africans Uganda (UCAA-UG): "with the recent approval of the Anti-Homosexuality Law, life keeps becoming more and more difficult for LGBT+ people and human rights defenders in Uganda. Our mental health is in shambles".

To help change that, UCAA-UG has created a project to support up to 100 LGBT+ Ugandans with mental health care and training.

However, the organization didn't have the necessary resources to put this mental health support project into practice.

So, in August 2023, All Out helped UCAA-UG to raise funds to help the Ugandan LGBT+ community overcome this crisis.

Thanks to the donations from All Out members around the globe, we were able to raise enough money to ensure the project's operation.

Now, UCAA-UG can:

Help 60 LGBT+ victims of violence, discrimination, and torture with the psychological and psychiatric support they need and deserve.
Train 40 people from across Uganda to provide mental health first aid to LGBT+ people. So, if someone is feeling their mental health is fragile, or if they're considering suicide for example, they'll have someone in their region who'll be able to help them get through the emergency.
