Uganda’s LGBTQ community faces anxiety and uncertainty after U.S. aid freeze

A non-profit organization in Uganda reports that its work is threatened due to U.S. President Donald Trump's suspension of foreign aid, which was signed on January 20.
Pius Kennedy, a program officer at Africa Queer Network, stated that his group has stopped activities supporting LGBTQ people due to funding loss from USAID.
The aid suspension may lead to increased sexually transmitted disease infections as access to essential health supplies diminishes, according to Kennedy.
Kennedy warned that the funding freeze could erase years of progress in protecting sexual minorities in Uganda and that uncertainty over grants complicates their situation.
