ORAM

Thank you to @CanHCKenya & @RainbowRailroad for co-hosting the Queer Forced Displacement Initiative in Nairobi. We’re proud this important & timely gathering took place in Kenya & deeply grateful to all who joined, especially LGBTQ refugee leaders who shared their voices & vision

At ORAM, we're honored to stand alongside FLBQR and amplify their inspiring work. Together, we're building a world where every LBQ refugee can live with pride, hope, and opportunity. Follow and support FLBQR to witness the change they create daily! #LesbianVisibilityWeek #LBQ

FLBQR creates a lifeline for LBQ women facing extreme challenges. They provide safe housing, job training, healthcare access, language education, and advocacy — designed to empower LBQ refugees to thrive. 🏠

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.

Thank you, Maama Makeba and Matasia Trans Capability, for all you do to uplift trans and gender-nonconforming refugees in Kenya. #TransRightsAreHumanRights #VisibilityMatters #MatasiaTransCapability #MTC #InukaAwards

ORAM was honored to receive this unforgettable event's Best Refugee Associate Organization. We are so proud to stand alongside our trans and gender-diverse partners and clients every day.

This #WomensHistoryMonth, we celebrate the incredible women on ORAM's global team! Their dedication, expertise, and passion strengthen ORAM and uplift the LGBTIQ refugees we serve. We're so grateful for their hard work and the unique perspectives they bring to our mission.

We're thrilled to see our team connect across borders! 💙 Thanks for visiting, Camille! 📸 In the photo: Kennedy Mwangi (Program Assistant), Priscilla Kendi (Program Assistant), Winfred Wangari (East Africa Program Manager), and Camille Ogoti (Germany Program Manager).

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.

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.

As artists and mental health advocates, they founded Poesia Pintada, a queer refugee-owned business specializing in illustration, graphic design, and art therapy workshops. Through a partnership with ORAM, Poesia Pintada brought art therapy to 24 LGBTIQ refugees in Mexico City.

ORAM is proud to partner with and spotlight LBTIQ women refugees like Joan and Vanessa — a queer couple from Colombia who sought refuge in Mexico. #LBTIQ #LGBTQ #Refugees #QueerWomen #QueerRefugees #ORAMRefugee #IWD2025

@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.
