Many children do not have the basics (pencils, pens, paper) and cannot do their homework or end up having to share with another student. Your donation provided each child with:

• 5 exercise notebooks
• 2 blue pens
• 2 red pens
• 2 pencils
• 2 colored pencils
• 1 ruler
• 2 erasers
• 2 sharpeners

Maasai women in Tanzania give birth in their homes, often in unsanitary conditions. These kits are given free to pregnant women and include a plastic drape over which the birth takes place, razor and clamps for cutting the cord, antibiotics for cord stem and eyes, wash basin & soap, blankets, gloves & gowns for midwives and washcloths.

Over 1.5 billion people suffer from soil transmitted diseases worldwide. Without shoes, children are especially vulnerable to diseases and parasites. These ‘shoes that grow’ can expand through 5 sizes and keep children healthy and allow them to go to school.

More than 20 million girls in the developing world drop out of school every year because they cannot manage their period. UNICEF says it might be as many as 50 million.

Every donation provides adolescent girls with a free kit of washable, reusable sanitary supplies. These kits allow girls to manage their period so they can stay in school. When girls do not have access to any sanitary supplies, they stay home from school during their period, fall behind in their classes, and end up dropping out. This is the pivotal point where they become second class citizens with limited opportunities in life.

These hygiene kits are given to school children in need in Uganda. Each kit contains a toothbrush, toothpaste, comb, nail clippers, soap, wash cloth, and tube of Vaseline. All the items are contained in a mesh carrying bag. For many, they’ve never had their own toothbrush.

These stoves remove the dangerous smoke from a Maasai home where cooking is typically done over an open flame. Many children suffer from the smoke from the open flames – some are burned, some have chronic lung problems, and some die.
