Firsthand testimonies from beneficiaries about how our programs have transformed their lives and created communities for them.
In May 2019, I was among 22 LGBTQI refugees arrested during a protest and faced charges that could have led to five-year sentences. CoSIR led an advocacy campaign, secured bail, and provided legal assistance that resulted in all charges being dropped.
Most beneficiaries of our entrepreneurship, vocational, paralegal and financial literacy programs have reported improved safety, mental health, and livelihood stability.
