SEPTEMBER 2026 FRIENDS OF THE SHELTER FOR TRANSGENDER PEOPLE CAMPAIGN
The Center T Shelter in Armenia is once again on the brink of closure.
Over the past months, we have lost a significant part of the external funding that previously helped sustain our work. This has made our work much more difficult and put large-scale projects — like the shelter in Armenia — at serious risk.
Once again, we need your help. By the end of this month, we need to raise €1,460.
This money will go toward rent, utility bills, food, and medicine for our residents.
The situation has become so critical that, in an effort to save funds, we’ve had to cut the shelter team’s salaries this month.
Your donations cover rent for a three-room apartment (shelter capacity is up to 6 people at a time), utilities, household chemicals, basic food and medicine for those who are unable to afford those costs. It also includes the support of the project by a psychologist and coordinator.
Center T helps transgender people in Russia and those in exile in other countries. The Russian government persecutes LGBT people by making xenophobia its state policy. You can read the stories of hate crime victims here and here. Most often our shelter residents are people who had to flee Russia urgently because of state persecution or domestic violence, as well as transgender people from Armenia itself.
Let’s create some stability for an emergency shelter for trans people together!
Thank you!
