Join Our Mission

Become a volunteer and help us create a safe and supportive environment for LGBTQ+ individuals facing challenges related to migration and integration.

Why It Matters

LGBT individuals from Muslim and ethnic-cultural backgrounds often face rejection, isolation, or even danger when their identities are revealed. Secret Garden addresses these challenges with years of expertise, helping asylum seekers navigate complex procedures and empowering our community to live authentically. Our work not only transforms lives but also fosters a more inclusive society.
