The safe house serves as a crucial refuge for LGBTQ refugees and asylum seekers in Kenya, providing them with a secure and supportive environment. The monthly rent of 100,000 Kenyan Shillings covers the costs associated with maintaining the safe house, including utilities, maintenance, and essential services. This safe space is vital for individuals fleeing persecution, allowing them to live with dignity and access necessary resources while they navigate the asylum process.

The monthly budget for food and basic needs is essential to ensure that LGBTQ refugees and asylum seekers residing in the safe house have access to nutritious meals and necessary personal items. This allocation covers groceries, hygiene products, and other daily essentials, allowing residents to maintain their health and well-being during their stay. Providing these basic needs is critical for fostering a sense of normalcy and dignity for individuals who have faced significant challenges and trauma in their lives.
