Afghanistan, the Taliban, a woman and a plan
I am an Afghan girl living in a country where freedom, opportunities, and even the basic right to education have been stripped away from women. Under the oppressive rule of the Taliban, I have been denied the chance to learn. I am reaching out with everything in me, hoping that someone, somewhere, will hear my plea. This is not just about money. This is about hope, about second chances, about refusing to let life’s circumstances define me. Any support, no matter how small, brings me one step closer to breaking free from the barriers holding me back.
Safe water for Palestinians
In Gaza, safe drinking water has been a major issue for decades. With the current heartbreaking bloodshed, the water situation has gone from bad to horrific. According to the U.N., 97% of the water in Gaza doesn’t meet World Health Organization standards for human consumption.
We are currently in Gaza’s neighbor, Egypt, facilitating the transfer of water filters into Rafah city. If you would like to help the people of Gaza during this horrific time, please consider this campaign. The filters are greatly needed and 100% of any kind donation will be used to quench their dehydration.
Refugee children in Uganda
This July, we will again be working in Western Uganda helping with refugees who are fleeing from neighboring countries. An estimated 2 million refugees have fled their home countries in South Sudan, Burundi, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Sudan, Somalia, but especially the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
We have great admiration for host countries such as Bangladesh, Lebanon, and Uganda, who have difficulties of their own, but still accept refugees from their troubled neighbors.
You’re welcome to join us in helping a refugee school with better hygiene and health.
With your help, countries we've been able to help

Please meet our friend Albert and his family, 5 of the newest residents of the USA. We first met Albert this past February at Kyangwali Refugee Settlement in Uganda. He was born in the Democratic Republic of the Congo 24 years ago, but his parents felt unsafe from the many dangers of their country and escaped to Uganda. Albert, his older brother Allen, younger sister Joy, and their parents have lived as refugees in Uganda for 22 years. TWENTY TWO YEARS! During our time in Uganda in February, Dr. Suzanne was teaching the Butterfly ultrasound to midwives as we were teaching WASH (Water, Sanitation, Hygiene) classes was when we first met Albert. He was working for Planning for Tomorrow refugee school as their Education Coordinator and instantly became our right-hand man, helping us with organizing classes, securing supplies, and translation.
