Nestled in the northern region of Sri Lanka are eight communities — home to more than 3,100 families living on generational land that they depend on for food and economic security. But when a corporation proposed building a massive cement factory on that same land, threatening the livelihoods of the locals, they refused to stay silent.
“I give a gift in honor of each of my family members to model generosity and remind them that Christmas isn't simply about receiving. They receive a card showing the gift in their honor.”
― Julie S., Freeland, Washington

A RIVER OF HOPE
In the heart of Meyer, Haiti, families have never had consistent, reliable access to clean water.
“A local mother shared with me how difficult it has been to provide safe water for her children. Families like hers have had to walk long distances or spend money on chemicals to ensure safe drinking water. Now, they have reliable access to clean, sustainable water right in their neighborhoods.”
