Your generosity has reached Sudan. 💛

We initially set out to provide meals for children and families facing an overwhelming crisis. Through our trusted partner, Sadagaat Charity , we were able to address another urgent need: access to oxygen for critically ill children and patients at Shendi Teaching Hospital in River Nile State. 🏥

This project equipped the hospital with 45 medical oxygen outlets serving the pediatric and adult ICUs, as well as two neonatal nurseries, bringing lifesaving support to children and families when they needed it most.

Together, we are sharing light, restoring hope, and standing with the people of Sudan. We look forward to doing more, including supporting children who have lost everything,

Together, we give light.

What a delightful GiveLight lunch restaurant in Willow Glen last week. The gracious host welcomed us with mango lassi on the house. And we enjoyed every dish starting from mutton briyani to halwa poori and Nihari

We are so grateful for the delicious meal, the warmth and the conversation about doing something tangible for our global children.

One of our friends who joined wrote the following:

I had the opportunity to join GL monthly lunch at Hajji’s. Delicious food, great company and even greater cause! Loved being a part of an event as simple as a lunch knowing it helps make a difference in the kids life around the world💕🌹

Thank you restaurant for your hospitality and support. We will be back IA!!

Have a great weekend everyone!!
