When families are forced to leave everything behind and essential supplies are unaffordable, the support we provide through our partner, Smile Again Africa Development Organisation, becomes a vital lifeline. 

Because of supporters like you, families can access nutritious meals, medicine, blankets and other essential supplies.

It’s not too late to make a difference.

Donate to support families like Shede’s to protect themselves from hunger and malnutrition.

Amani's story 

How your support makes a difference

With nothing but the clothes on their backs, families arrive at refugee settlements, hoping for a chance to rebuild their lives. 

Your support helps families like Amani and Rashed’s find their feet again. Through the financial assistance provided, they're regaining their independence, finding hope and starting over after losing everything.

Your generosity is giving them a chance to build a more stable, secure future.
