Dear Friend,
Back-to-School offers the opportunity for children to learn and build a brighter future, but some face more challenges than others.
As millions of children in the U.S. return to the classroom for a new school year, thousands in Kakuma Refugee Camp in Kenya face a very different reality. Half of the children in Kakuma Refugee Camp in Kenya are missing school, most of them girls. [[link removed]]
For these children, education provides more than lessons. It offers stability, confidence, and a sense of possibility in the face of extraordinary challenges. Kakuma Refugee Camp in Kenya is one of the largest camps in the world, located in a harsh climate, and has hosted over 300,000 refugees since 1991.
Friend, will you make a back-to-school gift today to help girls in Kakuma Refugee Camp continue their education with dignity and hope?
Thanks to a generous donor, every gift will be matched dollar for dollar up to $10,000, doubling the good your compassion can do.

For many girls in Kakuma, the chance to stay in school depends on having the most basic resources. [[link removed]] [[link removed]] [[link removed]] A notebook, a pencil, or menstrual hygiene supplies may seem small, but they can make the difference between sitting in a classroom with their peers or being forced to stay home.
These simple supplies help restore a sense of normalcy and belonging to children who have already endured so much.
One teacher in Kakuma explained why these resources matter:

"While on their periods, girls who don't have sanitary towels are often afraid of interacting with others because they fear soiling their clothes. But with sanitary items, they have confidence. They are more attentive. They don't miss school."
- Teacher, Kakuma Refugee Camp
When girls have access to these essential items, they can attend school consistently, participate with confidence, and stay focused on their education. That's why USCRI provides school supplies and menstrual hygiene products to refugee girls in Kakuma.

The new school year is beginning now, and girls need these resources before classes are underway. Will you make a back-to-school gift today?
When a girl has the supplies she needs, she is more likely to remain in the classroom, stay engaged in her studies, and continue learning. Your gift today can help provide that opportunity.
Thank you for standing with children and families in Kakuma.
In Gratitude,
