Israeli Lebanon Conflict
Please help! Lebanon and Israel are again in the headlines. Lebanon, the beautiful and small country just north of Israel where they graciously hosts the highest number of refugees per capita in the world. In the past few weeks, Israel’s constant bombing has displaced over a million people, and the already displaced Syrian and Palestinian refugees need our help. We’re here in Lebanon, and we could truly use your assistance helping those in need. Thank you.
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.
Help Ukraine NOW!
Help! Ukraine needs your help! During the past 6 weeks, have you been disgusted by the Russian invasion of peaceful Ukraine? Have you wanted to do something to directly help the hurting Ukrainians? This is your chance, because right now you can save a Ukrainian’s life. You don’t have to be a trauma surgeon or an emergency doctor. You can donate a simple life and limb saving device called a tourniquet. This devise is an incredibly helpful tool in life threatening bleeding situations, and there’s a lot of that happening in Ukraine right now. Yes, you can make a tourniquet out of a piece of fabric and a stick if you have to, but we would like to give them the best ones available and directly to the font lines.
Dignity for Venezuelan refugees
Here in Ecuador, there are more than 500,000 Venezuelan refugees. You can’t miss them, they’re on street corners, stairwells, and in parks humbly asking for a little help. Over the past few years we have been assisting these Venezuelan refugees in our home country of Ecuador in various ways and are continuing to do so, thanks to your support. You’re welcome in joining us help share Dignity Kits and water filters, assist with housing and jobs, and give free dental care to our Venezuelan neighbors living here in Ecuador. Thank you for your support.
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!
