The Gay and Lesbian Coalition of Kenya is registered as a trust (“Kenya Gay and Lesbian Trust”) and was established in May 2006 following the convening of regional LGBTI activists by a local women’s rights organisation.
GALCK acts as an umbrella organisation and currently consists of four LGBTI organizations; “Minority Women in Action”, “Ishtar MSM”, “TOMIK” and “Gay Kenya”.
The vision of GALCK is a safe and enabling environment for LGBTI organizations and individuals in Kenya.
The mission of GALCK is to promote recognition, acceptance and defend the interests and rights of LGBTI organizations and their members including their health rights.
Being a coalition, Galck is not engaged in any programmatic activities but rather offers support to all the member groups so that they can in turn effect the positive changes that we desire as the LGBTI community in Kenya. This support ranges from Technical Assistance, providing of space as well as facilitating coordination of activities between the member groups.
As a result then, to Join Galck, one would have to be a member of the existing groups and if you are a member of an LGBTI group that is currently not a member of GALCK, then we encourage your group to apply to join GALCK.
