In December 2023, the Kenyan government publicly announced they will no longer provide refuge to a targeted class of Africans. The UNHRC's inability to work with the Kenyan government to resettle people from our community has forced us to take swift action and move the 10 people living in our safe-house in Kenya to another country.
We discovered a wolf hiding in sheep's clothing to be a blessing is disguise.

Recent developments in Kenya pose significant challenges. The government's decision to no longer provide refuge to a specific class of Africans has forced us to take swift action. The safety of our community is paramount, and we are compelled to move them to another country.
While the UNHCR is working tirelessly, the lack of cooperation from the Kenyan government adds complexity to the situation. Many Africans from our community have already moved to countries where direct access to UNHCR assistance and protection is available.
Relocating individuals from our safe house comes at a cost. With five men, three single mothers, and two toddlers in our care, we urgently need $5,000 to ensure their safe transition to a more secure environment.
Given the high-risk nature of the situation, we emphasize the need to keep this campaign private. Trust is essential, and we appreciate your discretion in not posting this on public social media sites. Privately sharing this with people you know and trust is greatly appreciated.
Our overall goal is crystal clear – to safely relocate ten people to a safer location with direct access to UNHCR for protection and resettlement.
We safely arrived at our destination in January and it feels much better to be working directly with the UNHCR. Our objectives now include renting a safe house to accommodate 10 people, replacing out motorbike, and providing life-saving resources such as shelter, food, water, medical assistance, internet connection and legal support.
We aim to complete the relocation and set up our new safe house within 30 days, and our $5,000 budget covers renting a safe house, purchasing a motorbike, living costs, emergency medical needs, and unforeseen expenses.
Abba Henry is a refugee and asylum seeker residing near the Kakuma Refugee Camp in Kenya, where he is actively involved in leading the Diamond Mine Project and Academy. This initiative is dedicated to addressing the numerous challenges encountered by the refugee community as a result of the Ugandan government's Anti-Homosexuality Bill of 2023.
The Welcome Corps, a revolutionary force in refugee resettlement, enters Phase 2, enabling private sponsors to nominate refugees for U.S. resettlement. This aligns with our project, fostering private sponsorship for refugees.
Partnering with The Rainbow Railroad, a nonprofit in Canada and the U.S., we facilitate connections between eligible refugees and sponsors, streamlining the resettlement process. Together, we shape a future where private sponsors actively contribute to the journey of vulnerable African refugees seeking
resettlement in the United States.
This project aligns with The Welcome Corps, enabling private sponsorship for refugee resettlement in the U.S. The Welcome Corps is the boldest innovation in refugee resettlement in four decades. We focus on phase two, launching in mid-2023, identifying and referring refugees for support.

Why is there a need for this project?
The recent enactment of the Ugandan Anti-homosexuality Bill has thrown the lives of over 2,000 vulnerable and marginalized refugees in the Kakuma Refugee Camp into peril. Their safety is compromised daily through threats, torture, and violence.
This project aims to support the safe resettlement of vulnerable and marginalized African refugees and asylum seekers.
Up until recently, Kenya was the sole refuge for our community of people fleeing death and persecution. The Kenya government has now said it will no longer support us, and we are being forced to relocated to a safer environment.
