Our Team

Bana was the Programs Manager at Lets Walk Uganda He is a proud Ugandan born and raised in this beautiful country, 25 years old and an Electrical Engineering graduate. Of the myriad of things he's passionate about, the intersection of media and the LGBTQ human rights story in Uganda has been the most interesting for him. This is one of the reasons he is a part of Lifeline Youth Empowerment Centre. He has mostly been honored to be a part of creating a safe space for young LGBTQ persons online through our social media platforms where not only do they feel seen, but are able to identify on a personal level with other members within their community.

Eric is a queer feminist and digital development enthusiast who strongly believes in the mainstreaming of cross-cutting issues such as wellness, youth, environment, gender, and disability for meaningful engagement and equity, all of which are critical in the realization of Human Rights for All in Uganda. Eric's determination to fight for LGBTQ rights stems from his early struggles as a gay child, as well as persecution from both state and non-state actors, such as arbitrary detention and forced anal examinations and he is even more inspired by the tenacity of LGBTIQ movement leaders who have demonstrated that even in the most homophobic environments, we have the right to exist as humans.
