THE RAINBOW FUND SUPPORTS FAHAD RAINBOW HOUSE IN UGANDA 2020-2021

– currently there are only three safe houses in a city the size of Stockholm.
The overall aim of the project is to create a safe house for 50 rainbow adolescents over the two-year project period. The secondary purpose is to help people find a job, education and a home. The third goal is to find a sustainable model for funding the safe houses after the project period.
Happy Family Youth Uganda is a grassroots organisation in Kampala that works with key populations and rainbow people.
KWETU Connectors is a Swedish non-profit organisation that aims to develop project ideas aimed at improving living conditions for vulnerable people, particularly those living with HIV/AIDS, in Rwanda and Uganda.
