Help LGBTIQ Refugees Rebuild in 2026
Why Your Support Matters
2025 has been one of the most challenging years to date for LGBTIQ refugees and the organizations that support them. Resettlement to the U.S. is closed, USAID funding is cut, and the current U.S. political administration is attacking LGBTIQ identities through targeting DEI and "gender ideology".
These challenges underscore the importance of ORAM's work in transit countries. ORAM protects, empowers, and advocates for LGBTIQ refugees in Kenya, Mexico, and Germany. As 2025 draws to a close, your gift to ORAM will help queer refugees rebuild their lives and uplift others in the community in 2026 and beyond.
