WE ARE REGISTERED!!

WE ARE REGISTERED!!!

Dear members, allies and partners,

It’s with excitement and pleasure that we announce the successful registration of our organization as a Community Based Organization in the country. This means that our operations shall be guided by the CBO act in Kenya and shall therefore be recognized as legal under the Ministry of East Africa Community, Labour and Social Protection. We are very proud and thankful for this great achievement, a big thank you to all who supported us to get this far, we are very grateful.

Something to note, COSIR is the first LGBTIQ Refugees’ CBO to successfully register. Despite the hardships in the process including but not limited to holding our certificate citing a need to review of what the intension of a Refugee centered organization was and the commissioner’s dictation to us to make the entire Executive board members to be Kenyan nationals and change the Group’s name to something else & should not include the word “refugee” anywhere.

After intervention by UNHCR, we were issued with our certificate on the 20th day of December, 2017. We are looking forward to reaching out for more opportunities since we are now certified.
