Final days for supporting Nigerian safe house

With six days to go, the fund drive for the House of Rainbow’s safe house  is 75 percent of the way to its goal to keep open that sanctuary for LGBTI people in  Nigeria, where same-sex love is stigmatized and criminalized.

Your donations will help towards the cost of providing:

• Housing (less than US$1 a night per person to keep them safe);
• Free counseling, welfare and support;
• Free sexual health information.
