Embassy Kampala, Small Grants Office announces an open competition for
organizations interested in submitting applications for projects that
promote and protect LGBTI rights in Uganda.
The purpose of the program is to support human rights organizations that
provide immediate services and assistance to the LGBTI community. This
is aimed at improving the current reality for the LGBTI community while
advocating and promoting a more inclusive future. The short-term goals
involve safety and security for the LGBTI community, including access to
health care facilities and victim services if needed. The long-term
goals involve changing the perception of homosexuality and of
individuals in the LGBTI community.
The Small Grants Office will particularly consider grant proposals that
increase the visibility of LGBTI individuals, promote awareness and
evidence-based education, with a particular focus on young people, and
engage directly with key religious organizations.
