Safe and Visible

Our theme for ongoing programs at Total Together is centered around safety and visibility. On August 20, 2022, we hosted another gathering where we discussed, Personal experiences, Access to healthcare for seniors in both low and high-end communities. Mental health and the importance of seeking help With the support of a professional counselor, a clinician and our technical team, the event was a great success.

Our programs are held per term as we work towards increasing the uptake of healthcare services provided by our partners and assessing the need for a long-term care facility and safe space for LGBTQ+ elders in Zimbabwe.

We extend our gratitude to our participants for trusting us and attending this safe space session, as well as to our sponsors, volunteers and staff. This achievement would not have been possible without your collaborative efforts. We look forward to seeing you again.

Introductory workshop

Since Total Together was established in India, we had yet to bring our concept back home. On March 19, 2022, we held an introductory workshop in Bulawayo with the theme "What is Total Together." The event welcomed both older and younger LGBTQ+ individuals. During the session, we provided an open platform for attendees to share their thoughts on service provision and their expectations from organizations like ours. Their feedback has guided us in taking the next steps. At Total Together, we offer personalized service packages for our beneficiaries, which are developed through one-on-one meetings.

We have had programs and sessions for years but we were yet to have such an open discussion where we are involved in planning our own path.

At first we where not so sure about the plan and how this was any different from the past and the current.To now have an organization that is entirely dedicated to LGBTQ+ elders is assuring.

Best of Luck to Total Together

I would love to appreciate Total Together for the work that you are doing. Looking at myself as gay man I am excluded in many things since almost all organisations are looking at youth and forgetting about us. I believe with your vision you will limit suicides, stress and depression in the lives of elder gay people here in my city. Am looking forward to see more of you here in Bulawayo.

I am a man who can be refered to as the winner, in my sence I lived through decades of LGBTQ+ discrimination and even murders but i had not known i would age and not find a true affirming space for people above 40, thank you Total Together for reimagining the community and giving us a chance to express our concerns.

We hope this keeps going
