Robert Kasozi arrived in Melbourne on 29th March 2023. He has been a refugee escaping homophobic and cultural hatred of his LGBTIQ community for over 6 years. Every day in Kenya was a day wondering who would be attacked, imprisoned, raped or murdered of his friends. If it wasn't violent attacks it was simply starvation. These people cannot survive without the generous support of others who pay for safe house rents, food and medical care.
Robert is keen to start studying for a new career. He is hardworking. Has worked in building and construction but now is looking at becoming a forklift driver.
At 37 he thinks he is ageing and certainly the stresses that he has faced in his life have left their mark.
Please support people like Robert as we advocate for change in East Africa. Uganda's new strengthened homophobic laws against the LGBTIQ community will see more refugees escaping murder, bashings, imprisonment and uninvestigated violent crimes.
