Rev. Mark Kiyimba Unitarian Universalist Church of Uganda August 3, 2014

Minister and founder of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Uganda, Rev. Kiyimba operates a primary school for over 650 students, many of whom have been affected by HIV/AIDS, and a children’s home for AIDS orphans near Masaka, Uganda.

Rev. Kiyimba is an outspoken critic of Uganda’s Anti-LGBTQ legislation with its harsh penalties such as life imprisonment or death, just for being homosexual in Uganda.  The police have questioned him on multiple occasions.  Recently, Rev. Kiyimba won a human rights award for creative leadership in Washington, D.C. to recognize his work in education toward equal opportunity for those facing discrimination due to sexual orientation.
