Help us raise $100,000 in just 30 days! Today, we reach out with an urgent call for support to bolster our security teams, enhance awareness training, and expand Internal refugee camp relief efforts. These measures are vital in creating a safer, more informed, and resilient community amidst the trials faced. This fund is essential for strengthening our security measures, providing comprehensive awareness training to mitigate risks, and offering unwavering support to internal refugees through essential services and relief. Each donation is a step towards safeguarding the lives and dignity of those we serve, ensuring they are not alone in their time of need. Whether it's $100.00, $500.00, $1,000.00, $5,000.00, or $10,000.00, your contribution will help those directly in need! As we embark on these critical initiatives, we also recognize the power of community and the impact of collective action. We humbly ask our existing supporters to amplify our mission by spreading the word within their networks. Sharing our cause with friends, family, and colleagues can significantly broaden our reach and strengthen our ability to secure the necessary funds and support. Your voice and advocacy are invaluable to our journey towards making a tangible difference. https://lnkd.in/gPBwKNun

This past week, we celebrated the Day of the African Child. Did you know that the dual crises of malnutrition and learning loss are severely impacting the future of Africa's youth? Of the 66 million school-age children who go to school hungry every day in LMICs, 23 million of those are in Africa. This has profound implications for their future lives, as evidence shows that malnourished children cannot reach their full learning potential. Which is why the global philanthropic community must rally together to break out of silos and take bold, coordinated action to address these pressing issues and build a stronger tomorrow.
