Community Testimonials

  • “We are the only shelter operating in the Rwenzori region for trans communities. While we haven't yet received direct aid, we deeply honor R.O.A.D.'s visibility, consistency, and their leadership in centering trans lives across East Africa. Their presence alone brings hope to regions often overlooked.”

     Mumbya Katende, Founder, Twilight Support Initiative Uganda (May 2023)

  • "As a queer activist and single mother in Nairobi, I was facing significant hardship—trying to care for both myself and my sick child with limited resources. When I reached out to R.O.A.D., their support was swift and compassionate. What may seem like a modest grant to some was, for me, a life-affirming intervention—one that restored my dignity and helped sustain my family in a critical time."

    Sylvia A.O., Food Justice Advocate, Kenya (April 2023)

  • “I’m writing to sincerely thank you for your generous support toward food supplies for our shelter. Your help came at a crucial time and allowed me to secure food and essentials. Thank you for standing with us.”

    Liz, Transwoman and Shelter Organizer, Uganda (May 2024)

  • “Thank you for supporting my community through November. While we weren’t able to move forward with housing, we redirected the funds to organize outreach and training, which uplifted our members in Lagos.”

    Adunni Tiwatope, Director of Programs, Queercity Media & Productions, Nigeria (December 2023)

  • “Once Pamela is bailed out, she will be released from custody while awaiting trial. We believe the case will be dismissed, but getting her out now is most urgent. Thank you, R.O.A.D., for responding in real time.”

    Bafaki, Community Advocate, Uganda (March 2024)

  • “My motivation to get to know R.O.A.D. came from witnessing their unwavering support for African trans and queer people. With their help, I was able to cover rent, medicine, food, and transportation during a critical time. It was my first time truly feeling seen and supported as a transmasculine leader.”

    Jay Brodrick Otita, Founder, T-Men Evolution Uganda (May 2023)

  • “Since 2021, R.O.A.D. has consistently supported our community—whether through food, medical support, or HIV medication. As a founder of a trans shelter, I’ve watched their presence bring tangible relief and hope. They’ve even helped us purchase mattresses, mosquito nets, and transport for crisis response. In times when no one else showed up, R.O.A.D. did—with consistency and care.”

    Ruthra Lubega, Founder, Devin House of Hope Uganda (2024)
