Thank you so much for making this year's Giving Tuesday an incredible one!

Together, we were able to raise 1850€.

We could not have done it without your help. Your support makes a big difference for the students in Kakuma. And it makes us proud, because we know that there are many other charities out there asking for support as well.

We might not have been able to raise all of the 9000€ needed for our prefered solution, which includes drilling a borehole and installing a filter and storage system. But thanks to your generous donations, we are now able to apply for public funding programs, which require us to finance part of the project costs by ourselves. We thus continue our work on WASH with high spirits.

Thank you and have a wonderful rest of the year,
Leon and the team at SOURCE

PS:
Please note that our Co-Founder Leonardo Carlo Calisse has published a remarkable photo book after a (self-financed) trip to Kakuma that he took to organize the construction of our new classroom. Through vivid imagery, KARIBU aims to convey the spirit of Kakuma's inhabitants, the surrounding tribal cultures, and the striking natural landscapes that frame the camp. You can order it through our website, have it shipped to you, or arrange a pick-up in one of the cities in which SOURCE team members live. All proceeds go towards supporting our projects.
