UHAI EASHRI is Africa’s first indigenous activist fund for and by sexual and gender minorities and sex workers. Established in 2009, we have grown to fund civil society organising in 7 countries across the greater Eastern Africa region—Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda—and we also fund, partner with, and grow mission aligned Pan-African human rights organising across the continent. We provide our community partners funding through flexible and accessible, peer-reviewed grantmaking; and we complement funding with capacity support, and support for activist-led convening.
