Anti-Malarial Bed Nets--
Through the Nothing But Nets Program of the United Nations Global Fund, we purchase and donate anti-malarial bed
nets for families living in sub-Saharan Africa. These bednets prevent malaria for up to three children and can be used
without even a bed because they come with poles!
Solar Cookers--We
purchase and donate Solar Cooker Stoves for Darfuri Refugee Camps in Iridimi, Sudan in cooperation with Jewish World Watch
Solar Cooker Project. These clever boxes of foil can fix dinner in a few hours and help protect women not only from fires
but eliminates the need for women to leave the safety of the camps to collect firewood further and further from their homes,
providing protection for their little ones as well. .
Holy Apostles Soup Kitchen--provides over 1,000 meals daily to the homeless and
hungry. We enjoyed serving 1,200 and 1,400 meals for Make a Difference Day!
