Trans Safety Emergency Fund

“My experience was inclusive and warm hearting. Be it that we are a group of transgender refugees in a rural African refugee camp, we feel included in the organisation’s support.”

“TSEF has the best staff. The contact person who reached out to me was very kind and generous with words. As a Trans woman in Lagos Nigeria, my experience with TSEF was kind, beautiful and memorable. They extended uncommon succor to me. I will like to appreciate their partners who put the funds together, you are touching lives beyond borders.”

“I was given a prompt response after my application, the interview was straight to the point and brief, the interviewers were nice and patient with me even when I didn’t know how to use zoom properly, It was a good experience.”

“First and foremost, let me take this opportunity to thank TSEF for rescuing us, transgender persons that are sometimes stuck in life. Thank you so much for the great work. TSEF team has effective communication towards emergency fund application,if at all your application is being accepted. The interview was much easier,short and precise because you are being asked why you asked for the emergency fund and what are you going to use it for? And already in the application you state the purpose of the fund. Time management was perfect with TSEF team because every step followed was on time and it took me few days to receive the emergency funds after I presented all the information that I was requested to present.Therefore my experience with TSEF team regarding application, communication, time,interview was a great opportunity and experience because we worked hand in hand with the TSEF team, so that I can be rescued in a situation that was challenging.”

“My experience with requesting aid from TSEF was positive. The application process was relatively easy and they were kind and fast during the interview. The amount I received helped me to reach my goal of relocating after fleeing political discrimination and violence in a hostile state.”
