Challenging life of a lesbian single refugee mom



Hello world, I'm Carolyne lesbian from Uganda but currently residing in Kakuma Kenya refugee camp. l fled my country in 2021 with my then 13 year old brother to seek for asylum (protection) in Kenya.

We had high hopes that our lives would change once in another country but this was the beginning of our misery and life has gotten worse ever since I was raped in 2021 giving birth in 2022 to my daughter.

We've faced many challenges after giving birth via C-section I couldn't support my brother and the baby coz I'm not working and the fact that our community is discriminated, verbally abused, violently attacked on a daily basis.

I'm seeking for relocation assistance, medical, financial assistance to sustain my family. Thank you
