Dear Friend,


The new school year is here and Oumar (7) says he is full of excitement about “meeting new teachers and making new friends.”


Oumar’s family, including his older brother Mohamed (9), fled war in Liberia, and with the help of so many, USCRI has welcomed them to the United States and provided them with a chance to rebuild and heal from the ordeals they escaped from.

Would you consider a back-to-school gift for a refugee child today?


With an urgent one-time gift today, innocent children and youth—who have recently fled war in Democratic Republic of the Congo or Afghanistan or drug violence in Guatemala—can have a laptop, a backpack or other basics like pencils, scissors, and crayons.


The right to education is fundamental to our values as a nation, and so is welcoming refugees and immigrants. Together, we can help so many other children and youth, like Oumar and Mohamed, to receive the education they so much deserve.


Thank you for your compassion.


Sincerely,



Eskinder Negash

President and CEO



P.S. Thanks for stepping up this school  year for refugee and unaccompanied children and youth.
