Refugee Children In Uganda. Safe Water and a Medical Clinic
This June, we will again be working in Western Uganda helping with refugees who have fled from neighboring countries. Near the border of Uganda and the Congo is one of the country’s largest refugee settlements called Kyangwali. With its estimated 125,000 refugees and 80% women and children from the Congo, we feel the need is great and want to do our part to help. And you can too…
Safe water for Palestinians
In Gaza, safe drinking water has been a major issue for decades. With the current blockade, 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.In February 2024, we started importing and sharing water filters, but with the ongoing blockade, this has become impossible. For the past year and a half, we have been funding and using desalination plants to share thousands of gallons of safe drinking water. From Gaza City to Khan Yunis, you’re welcome to join us in sharing life giving water to parched Palestinians. 100% of any kind donation will be used to quench their dehydration. Thank you.
With your help, countries we've been able to help

The Darien Gap. The thick jungle that separates continents and human rights. Only 66 miles of one of the wettest places on earth, but also the “funnel” where the most vulnerable pass through escaping hardship, crime, and war.From the northern tip of Colombia in South America to the southern tip of Panama in Central America, this dangerous jungle exists. This short 106 kilometers of wetlands and mountains is the only area where one can’t drive from Alaska to Argentina. In over 19,000 miles of the Pan American Highway from north to south, this is the only area without a road...
We are all vain.In Kyangwali Refugee Settlement, there are no mirrors. Like it or not, everyone needs a mirror to remind themselves of who they are, and of course refugees are no exception.When living in very difficult conditions, people lose themselves and forget who they are. Here in Uganda at the Planning for Tomorrow school, the Congolese refugee students(and teachers) love the mirrors that we installed with the hand washing stations. On each of our 4 “hygiene hubs”, we attached 3 mirrors each, meaning the P4T schools now have 12 areas of reflection. When the young learners see their beautiful faces, especially in front of a sink, they’re more hygienic and take better care of their bodies. Daily, they wash their hands and faces with soap for a lot longer than they would without a mirror. Laughing, looking at their teeth, making fun of each other, checking their eyebrows, all while washing their hands. It’s a hygiene trick, and it works:) Reflect on that!
