From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Bisi Alimi Foundation is a charity in the UK supporting and publishing research for social acceptance of LGBT people in Nigeria.[1][2]

The Foundation was established by Bisi Alimi who claimed asylum in the UK after fleeing Nigeria due to attacks and threats after coming out as gay.[3][4]
