ABOUT
Love Across Borders
A mutual aid healthcare fundraiser for trans and queer refugees and sex workers
We are fundraising and building community based on solidarity. The fundraising is for healthcare (including hormones, PREP, PEP, ARVs) for queer and trans refugees and sex workers in South Africa.
Trump has signed an executive order, stopping international aid. In SA, this affects healthcare including funding for HIV medicine, PREP, PEP and gender-affirming care (many organisations have had to shut down or have lost a significant source of funding).
Who does the fund go to?
The funds will be distributed to SWEAT and Haven of Pride Africa
