• About this gift

  In places like Kenya's Dadaab refugee complex, home to more than 235,000 refugees, water is scarce. Women and children walk great distances to collect this precious resource and transport it home. The IRC provides lightweight and collapsible cans to refugees in Dadaab and other camps around the world, making clean, safe water accessible to thousands of people. $18 can provide a family with a lightweight jerry can, making the long walk for water a little easier.

  Why they'll love a Rescue Gift

  I like being able to donate in my parents' name for birthday, Christmas, Mother's and Father's Day. And they like knowing their gift means something.
