9,000 Dignity Kits to 3 Refugee Camps
With great support from generous donors like you, Yodit was able to collect dignity kits and sanitary pads worth more than $100,000 USD through intensive online and door to door campaigns and she was accompanied by a group of very hard-working volunteers to deliver the goods to more than 9000 women and girls at 4 refugee camps in Sudan.
This noble cause and this shining moment was the calling for the establishment of the Yodit for Women & Children Foundation.

Shops with Grinders and Generators
UN distributes whole grains to the refugees monthly with no additional financial aid or meals to process or grind the barley.
Yodit For Women and Children Foundation has embarked on building food processing shops fully equipped with mill grinder machines and generators to support the refugees free of charge. The shops will be operated and managed by trained refugees themselves.
Yodit For Women & Children Foundation would like to thank Yodit’s family and friends who generously donated the funds required to build the four mill processing shops in Tenedba and Umrakuba refugee camps in Sudan.

Food Aid to 2 Camps
When resources are extremely scarce, small individual donations could look like a drop in the bucket. We believe in the power of collective efforts, and together we can move mountains.
Together with our volunteers, we distributed to desperate refugees cooking oil, flour, powdered milk, lentils, teabags, salt, and sugar. This is worth $10,000.
Thank you all and God Bless you!

Funding for Rebuilding
It has been reported that thousands of refugees who fled conflict in northern Ethiopia’s Tigray region are now stuck in precarious conditions. They are in dire conditions and their day-to-day life is at the mercy of the weather.
When there is bad weather and rainy season in all the camps, it has created panic and reportedly destroyed a significant number of tents. Some refugees had managed to reinforce their tents in advance, but most lacked the material and funds to do so and are often seen sharing tents with others or in communal shelters.
During our stay in one of the refugee camps, I helped reinforce this woman’s tent together with some volunteers so she could have safe, dry shelter.
