On arrival in the camp, all asylum seekers are given a shelter. As any other group of people, LGBTI are also given shelters amidst the vast majority of the camp mates, with different ideologies about LGBTI, with different cultural backgrounds, religious beliefs, norms, etc. 

However, when LGBTI people are given a shelter in a such a community of people, they don't spend even a night there. And if some of them get a chance to spend a night there, they have to be on a night watch throughout the entire night, such that to be vigilant just incase of any invasion of thieves and homophobes. 

Immediately a shelter is allocated to a queer person, members of the community tend to pass by to welcome a new arrival to the area, show him or her the latrines, water points, and other briefings. It is however, at this time, that the same community members get to know of ones sexuality. 

They notice this mostly by asking if you know Kiswahili or not, (in East Africa, its only Uganda mostly that doesn't use Kiswahili, they use English mostly. Additionally, everyone understands that they are only Ugandans mostly who are fleeing to Refugee camps for reasons of their sexuality, nothing else much. So, even though you fled for other reasons, Ugandans have a general reason of being LGBTI). With that, conclusions that you're actually a member of the LGBTQIA community are made. 

Immediately, you start noticing them changing and most of them start to distance you right away. At night, they don't allow you to sleep till morning, most of them run from the shelter that night, others don't spend any night at all, others spend a few days as they are still holding on but searching for at least a safe space within the camp. Mostly, the immediate solution is to shift several shelters and build them to make kind of a small community with some good number of folks. This gives them a chance to stand up in defensive power just in case of any attack or raid at night or during day time. It gives them some time to breathe other than when each and everyone is staying alone across the entire camp, which is believed to be more risky. 

However, this still doesn't give them a free ticket to a durable solution. They still have to face abrupt night attacks especially arson attacks. Or, they are waited as they are on the way to shops or markets. "Its still risky as long as your still living in the camp "... Says one of the LGBTI folks. 

Currently, several arson attacks have been recorded and lots more are still expected to be recorded once physical protection and or evacuation of LGBTQ people from the camp isn't ensured ASAP. 

Children, lesbians, transgenders, gay men, aren't spared from trauma, depression, anxiety, hopeless ness, PTSD, etc of such insane attacks. 

Arson attacks, night raids, too much sunshine all cause destruction of their sleeping materials and an immediate need of replacement is always available. 

Till date, most of these LGBTI people are still choosing to sleep outside, not because they lack shelters but because they are in fear of sleeping inside, they are in fear of losing their lives to arson attacks. It will be remembered that one of the LGBTI in Kakuma Refugee camp was burnt and later died after a month. Others choose to stay awake as they are doing night shifts to watch around as one of the ways to ensure safety through the night.
