My name is Robert Hamilton, also known online as Mr-Robert.
I am British and reside in the UK. I sponsor and administer this website on behalf of the LGB group presenting their situation. So I’m at the back end of the website, its design and the formatting of content for optimising the website in web searches.
Why I am sponsoring this website
I sponsor this website because the Kakuma LGBTQ+ people it represents are unable to fund it themselves. I have been interacting with the group for some time, and I can assure you this website and its content are NOT related to a scam or any intent to defraud.
This Website’s Purpose
The website is a platform for their voice to be heard. By definition, I hope visitors to the website can relate and empathise with the group’s respective profiles and the lives they once had.
Everyone in the group fled from physical threats, violence and for some, certain death. Everything they once had is lost. Now they only have memories and a fragile hope they have a future in a safe and friendly country.
Right now, their priorities are food, medication and the knowledge there are people beyond Africa who care enough to offer support and recognition to their plight.
As asylum seekers, they fled from those intent on violence, harm and killing. They are reliant on handouts from the UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.)
Their food rations consist of grains and pulses, day in and day out, with no variation or choice. While these rations are selected to provide a minimum nutritional value, they have no funds to buy anything extra. There is no infrastructure for flushing toilets and running showers, so illness and hunger plague their living conditions.
These people live in misery. Hope for their future is fading unless people from the outside world offer them attention, financial help and moral support. Their lives are wretched. They face prejudice, threats and physical violence from their fellow camp residents daily through homophobic behaviour.
In the long term, they need refugee status, which opens the opportunity for resettlement in a safe and LGBTQ+-friendly country.
Supporting all aspects of LGBTQ+
I’m 100% behind the group’s efforts in using this website to tell it as it really is, rather than how it might be portrayed by the UN. The group have my entire support, trust and respect for creating everything they share within the website pages. All pass through my admin role to edit and publish on the website platform.
My relationship with the group is purely platonic and supportive friendship.
The group’s voices are genuine. Their asylum seeker status is long overdue for upgrading to Refugee. The situations and descriptions they share on this website are credible, and the challenges they face and illustrate are factual.
Authors and contributors
Collectively and individually, the group are proactive in writing the articles and their respective profiles. They intend to be active at the front end, providing additional articles and news about their situation, and funding progress. They can be contacted in Kakuma. Please see the contact page: Contact us
