Winter Shelter: Providing Warmth and Hotel Lodging to the Homeless

During the freezing winter months in the United States, exposure can be fatal for those without shelter. As part of our American outreach, Nkanu Global Foundation volunteers drive around seeking out homeless individuals in extreme cold weather. Instead of just offering blankets, we place them in comfortable hotels for two to three nights. This immediate emergency shelter provides them safety, warmth, and the opportunity to connect with local social services. "No one should freeze in the winter," says Dr. Patience Eze. Your donations make these hotel stays possible, saving lives one night at a time.

These rural children, mostly from very poor families, face severe challenges in concentrating and participating in class. Some of these rural children sit on broken blocks or mats they bring from home. Some of them place notebooks on each other's back to write or copy notes. Through Nkanu Global Foundation, a $120 gift produces and delivers a three-in-one wooden desk with a bench for three children. The feedback from teachers and headmasters has been overwhelmingly positive. With proper desks, students' posture has improved, and attendance has increased by over 40% in schools we've supported.
