QUEER SOLIDARITY

Kavuma Abdullah ( @kavumas-blog ) is a queer refugee from Uganda. He had to flee to Kakuma refugee camp in Kenya to escape homophobia. In Kakuma he was assaulted for his sexuality and his shelter was burnt down by homophobes. He is now in a different refugee camp.

YOU CAN HELP

Caitlin Zornes has kindly set up a gofundme for Kavuma. She will send him donations via WorldRemit. He is struggling with food and needs financial aid.

Legitimacy?

These images and this video have been sent to my by Kavuma. I personally requested the video and picture of him holding up his name.

Both @ashleymilesphil and @lawrence86sworld have said they know Kavuma.

Kavuma also has a copy of UNHCR registration which I am not allowed to post, but if you are willing to donate go ahead and message @kavumas-blog or me and we can send it via messages.

Thank you for reading this far through, I understand not everyone can donate. If you want to support Kavuma in other ways you can reblog, share his posts, share his gofundme to your friends or to other social media etc. I hope you can help, even in that small a way, thank you.

Urgent Appeal for Donations: Help LGBTIQ Refugees in East Africa Survive

Dear friends and well-wishers,

The challenges we face as LGBTIQ refugees in East Africa are overwhelming and right on our noses. Our situation grows more dire each day, and despite our constant efforts to raise awareness, donations have not been coming in lately. This silence has a devastating impact on our survival.

Your donation can make a real difference – it can provide essentials like food, clean water, shelter, and medical care to those in desperate need. Right now, many of us are struggling to make it through each day, and without your help, more lives will be lost.

Please don't ignore our outcries. We are real people facing unimaginable hardship simply because of who we are. By donating today, you will help save lives and support our fight for dignity and survival.

Donate today to help LGBTIQ refugees in East Africa survive.

Together, We Can Heal Sudan

The devastating floods in Sudan have plunged an already suffering nation into deeper despair.  Ongoing conflict and economic hardship have already left many communities vulnerable. Now, torrential floods have swept across the country, displacing families, destroying homes, and creating a breeding ground for waterborne diseases. Children, the elderly, and the most vulnerable are at heightened risk.

Essential healthcare is more critical than ever. Diarrhoea, cholera, and other illnesses are spreading rapidly, threatening the lives of countless individuals

Your donation today can help us deliver vital supplies, deploy medical teams, and treat those in desperate need. 

Every penny counts. Donate now.

PRO PALESTINIANS 🇵🇸 we must also bring awareness to Congo ! They are going through a silent genocide

LINK TO DONATE ⬇️ to fund doctors who will directly help women who are being r@ped daily and help them heal physically so they can have dignity and as normal a life as humanly possible

What is happening is barbaric and disgusting and I’m ashamed that I have only just learnt about this so recently. I’m sure like me none of you knew about this either (in the West) but now we know we have to talk about it. Keep talking about Palestine but talk about Congo too and Sudan

Hey everyone. This is my friend Modou lamin. Modou lives in The Gambia and has been single handedly raising his 4 younger siblings since he lost his parents in high school, forcing him to drop out. I was supporting them on my own until a few months ago because of my own financial trouble. In that time his younger sister died of Malaria because he could not take her to hospital and I couldn't get them the money. So I made a fund.

They buy from their local market, you can see it in the video just below. He loves to make green tea and cook for him and his siblings.

They regularly have no place to sleep safely, to the point that Modou will maybe get 2-4 hours of sleep each night to keep watch while his family sleeps and yet he is still kind and caring and always asks me how my family is and if we are safe. I hate to see him struggle this much. Please help me feed my friend. I may not be able to drop $60 a month, but added up smaller donations could make it so they're not without food again, and get back on their feet. The exchange rate is high with $1 USD = $63 GMD. Please reblog and share on other platforms, my usual online support system has let me down on this and I need help to spread this around. Thank you

Odd jobs are few and far between in Nearobo. Peter knows because every day he walks the streets of his village in south-east Liberia looking for one. In a good month, he might make $20 (£16.70). That’s hardly enough to feed himself, let alone his children.

But today things are looking up. As part of an innovative new donation scheme, Peter receives $40 (£33.40) per month for a minimum of three years. No paperwork. No requests for receipts. No catch of any kind, in fact. Just hard cash transferred straight to his mobile phone. 

The 59-year-old casual labourer plans to use the money to buy materials for a new home for himself and his family, he says. “Although it is going to take long, I will continue until my house is completed.”

The scheme is part of a new-look approach to development assistance that, if taken to scale, could potentially turn the £156bn international aid industry on its head.

At least, so says Rory Stewart, the former UK foreign secretary turned podcaster-in-chief (he co-hosts ‘The Rest is Politics’ with Alastair Campbell, a surprise hit which has topped the Apple podcast charts virtually every week since it launched a year ago). From his new base in Amman, Jordan, Stewart heads up GiveDirectly – the world’s fastest growing nonproft – who are behind the initiative.

“It’s a rather radical, simple idea to help people out of extreme poverty. We deliver the cash directly … there’s no middleman and no government getting in the way.”

It feels like an odd statement from someone who has spent much of his life in government service: first as a junior diplomat for eight years (during which he penned a bestselling book about dodging Taliban bullets and hungry wolves whilst walking across Afghanistan), followed by almost a decade as a politician at Westminster.

Pictured: Rory Stewart and GiveDirectly’s Ivan Ntwali talk with a refugee household in Rwanda. Image: GiveDirectly

His enthusiasm is even more surprising given his initial caution. During his various ministerial stints at the UK’s department for international development (including three months as secretary of state), he was an out-and-out “cash sceptic.” 

Giving away money with no strings attached was, he felt at the time, an impossible sell to tax-paying voters. What’s stopping recipients spending it down the pub? Or investing in a hair-brained business venture? 

Quite a lot it turns out. No one knows the value of money more than those who don’t have any, he argues. Give an impoverished mother-of-four $40 (£33.40) cash and, 99 times out of 100, she’ll spend it on something useful: repairs to the house, say, or school fees for her kids...

By virtue of GiveDirectly’s model, participants can spend their money on whatever they choose, but the charity’s research indicates that most goes towards food, medical and education expenses, durables, home improvement and social events.

On the flipside, Stewart also has numerous examples of well-funded aid projects that deliver next to nothing. A decade ago, the then United Nations general secretary Ban Ki-moon estimated that 30 per cent of aid money disappears in corruption. There is little to suggest much has changed.

The aid industry doesn’t need corrupt officials to see its funds evaporate, however; it has its own voluminous bureaucracy. Stewart recalls once visiting a $40,000 (£33,560) water and sanitation project in a school in an unnamed African country. The ‘deliverables’ were two brick latrines and five red buckets for storing water...

The beauty of direct giving, he stresses, is not just that it annuls opportunities for thievery and red tape; it also frees the world’s poorest individuals from the well-meaning but, very often, misplaced guidance of donors. An aid expert in Brussels or Washington DC may well have a PhD in development economics, but who is best to judge what a single mother in a Kinshasa slum needs most and how to obtain it most cheaply: the expert with her degree, or the mother with her hungry children?

Empowering recipients to decide for themselves helps end the kind of “mad world” where aid agencies pay to ship wheat from Idaho, US, to Antananarivo, Madagascar, only for local people to sell it in order to buy what they really want, Stewart reasons.

“So often, these communities are having to turn the goods we send them into cash anyway, but just in a very inefficient and wasteful fashion … instead [with direct cash transfers] they are given the choice and freedom in how to spend it.” 

Pictured: Villagers in Kilif, Kenya, at a public meeting about the GiveDirectly programme. Image: GiveDirectly

Is the system perfect? No, clearly not. Stewart concedes that opportunities for fraud and coercion exist. To minimise these risks, GiveDirectly employs field officers to meet face-to-face with recipients, as well as a team of telephone handlers and internal auditors to follow up on reports of irregularity.

By his reckoning, however, the biggest impediment to direct giving really taking off is donor reticence. At present, only 2 per cent of official aid is given direct in cash. Stewart thinks it should be closer to 60 or 70 per cent...

‘My children will not have to beg anymore’

Happiness Kadzmila from Malawi enrolled on GiveDirectly’s Basic Income project last summer. She will now receive $50 (£41) a month for a year ($600/£496 in total).

What are the biggest hardships you’ve faced in life?

I am a divorced mother of four children. I got divorced in 2020 while I was eight months pregnant with my last-born child. Since then, I have been depending on working on other people’s farms. I get paid $0.49 (£0.43), or a plate of maize flour per day. As a result, it has been a challenge to feed my children, buy clothes for them, and to pay their school fees My firstborn child is in year 4, the school charges $0.69 (£0.61) per day for her. My second is in year 3, I pay $0.49 (£0.43) for him. There were days when I would have no food in my home, and my children would go to my neighbours’ homes to beg for food. This made me feel sorry for my children as a mother.

What does receiving this money mean for you?

I was so happy the day I received cash amounting to $51.75 (£43.56) from GiveDirectly. I used the money to buy maize at $9.88 (£8.32). My children will not have to go to our neighbours to beg for food anymore. I also bought a sheep at $34.58 (£29.10). I will be selling sheep in future when they multiply. I also bought lotion and soap at $1.88 (£1.58).

How will you spend your future payments?

I plan to renovate my house. I have always admired those who sleep in houses made of a roof with iron sheets because they do not have to think of fetching grass every year for a new roof. I will also start a business selling doughnuts to sustain my income after I receive my last transfer. I did not know that an organisation like GiveDirectly would come to help me this way All I can say to those who are giving us this money is ‘thank you’."

-via Positive News, 3/3/23

More and More People to Help

In addition to their universal basic income programs, GiveDirectly also has dedicated programs where you can donate to emergency disaster relief, people living under the protracted civil war and human rights disaster in Yemen, refugees, and survivors of the Syria-Turkey earthquake.

They have also commissioned a number of large-scale, third-party studies on the effectiveness of their numerous universal basic income models. Find these and other projects here.

Please consider donating to my friend’s gofundme, or at least sharing the link. Her grandparents, aunty, uncle and their two 3-year-old children are stuck in Port Sudan, they are facing death or worse and need urgent help to flee. I know everyone is worn out from all the horrific crimes being committed around the world right now but please, this is really important.
