Nairobi
I coordinate donations at Acacia Refugee Centre in Nairobi. Every year around this time we hear from families who have nothing warm for their children, and this year demand has more than doubled. We're collecting clean, gently used or new coats, boots, hats, gloves and scarves in sizes 2 to 14 years. If you're in Nairobi, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at Acacia Refugee Centre on Saturday between 9am and 4pm. If you're elsewhere, you may offer to sponsor a coat through a local shop - message in the comments and we can coordinate. Items go to families directly and the rest to the Acacia Refugee Centre clothing bank, which is open to everyone. I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

    Thanks for sharing this, Rose. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. After 17 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Aurangabad

      I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Nairobi

      • Gregory B. Santiago

        Hang in there, Rose. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out.

        • Padma G. Somayajula

          Take care, Rose. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Blessings

          • Byaruhanga Evans Lubega

            Hope you get there. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Gondar.
