Did you know that every day, over 5700 children become orphans? That's nearly 2 million+ children in a year who have no family, no support and nobody to turn to. Which is why we have partnered up with Islamic Ummah Relief, a US based NGO, that is actively providing for the needs of orphans, widows and the needy, working on humanitarian projects in Ghana, Nigeria, Niger, Uganda and Togo. With your help and generosity these last 10 days of Ramadan we are able to house these orphans and provide a safe place for them to live in. Visit LaunchGood.com/TDS10 to make a donation towards building a home for orphans today.
The Digital Sisterhood is partnering with Helping Hand for Relief and Development to sponsor a Skills Development and Livelihood Center in Madogo, Kenya for women and youth living in poverty.
Skills trainings empowers beneficiaries to take charge of their own lives with dignity and determination.
Our goal is to sponsor 138 students, that is 138 women and youth who will learn employable skills and gain financial stability. Help us in making that happen by visitingwww.hhrd.org/Sisterhood to learn more and donate.
