Please continue to share and support this effort 📚

With back-to-school assistance being cut, we’re coming together to make sure students across the reservation have what they need before school starts.

If you’d like to help, you can:
• Sponsor a student
• Purchase supplies through our registry
• Ship donations directly or drop them off at Ground Control (403 Apache Dr., Pine Ridge, SD) for our Back-to-School Rez Tour where we will be reaching all 9 districts.

Every backpack, notebook, pair of shoes, and pack of pencils makes a difference. If you can’t donate, sharing this post helps us reach more people.

Wópila tȟáŋka to the Khan Ohana Foundation, Ground Control, and everyone who’s helping take care of our kids. We couldn’t do this without you. ✊🏽

🎉 WOW mA! Our community has been incredibly generous, and we continue to receive an amazing amount of clothing donations for families and individuals in need! ❤️

As we work to sort, organize, and distribute these donations, we’re asking for a little extra help to keep everything running smoothly.

We are currently in need of:

🧥 Clothing hangers
🧺 Laundry baskets or storage baskets
🛍️ Large paper bags

These items may seem simple, but they make a HUGE difference in helping us organize clothing and get it into the hands of those who need it most.

Have some to spare? We’d love to hear from you! Text us at 918-641-4834 to arrange a convenient drop-off or pick-up.

Thank you for being part of this incredible community. Your generosity helps us provide clothing with dignity, compassion, and care. Together, we’re making a difference—one donation at a time!

🌍 Today is World Refugee Day.

This year’s theme, “Until Everyone Is Safe,” reminds us that millions of people around the world have been forced to flee their homes due to war, persecution, violence, and disaster.

At Khan Ohana Foundation, we have had the privilege of serving refugee families from Syria, Afghanistan, Sudan, the Central African Republic, and many other countries as they rebuild their lives here in Oklahoma. Today, we also stand in solidarity with displaced people everywhere, including refugees and internally displaced persons affected by ongoing crises in Palestine, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Myanmar, Ukraine, Sudan, and beyond.

According to the United Nations, World Refugee Day honors the strength, courage, and resilience of people who have been forced to flee their homes in search of safety. It is also an opportunity for all of us to build empathy, understanding, and support for those who continue to face uncertainty and displacement.

As we reflect on the challenges refugees endure, we also celebrate their resilience, contributions, and determination to create brighter futures for themselves and their families.

💚 Join us next Saturday, June 27, for our World Refugee Day Benefit Dinner.

📍 Peace Academy
🕕 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM
🎟️ $50 per person

Proceeds will support refugee families in the Tulsa area through food assistance, ESL classes, emergency assistance, entrepreneurship initiatives, and other programs that help families achieve long-term stability and self-sufficiency.

Because safety, dignity, and opportunity should be available to everyone.

🌍 Celebrate Earth Day by Growing Our Community! 🌿

This Earth Day, we aren’t just celebrating nature—we’re cultivating it.

Our Backyard Gardening Project is officially underway, turning local spaces into vibrant sources of food, opportunity, and self-sufficiency.

Alhamdulilah, We are thrilled to announce that 4 community garden sites are already committed for this season. But this project is about more than just plants; it’s about people.

🌱 Why This Matters
We are creating meaningful employment for a member of our refugee community. Despite facing language barriers that made traditional work difficult, we are building around his incredible skills, providing a dedicated interpreter so he can lead this project in the field.

💰 Our Goal for this year: $5,000
To sustain and grow these 4 gardens, we need to raise $5,000. Your contribution is a long-term investment in our community, directly funding:
Tools & Equipment
Seeds, Soil & Planting Materials
Garden Bed Installation
Maintenance & Harvesting

🤲 Make an Impact Today
Instead of a temporary handout, these gardens offer a sustainable solution: fresh food, lower grocery costs, and true independence for local families.

If you’ve been looking for a tangible way to support local families and the planet this Earth Day, this is it.

Help us reach $5,000 and keep these gardens growing! Donation Link in our bio or visit: https://www.khanohana.org/support

🌱 Meet the Heart of Our Garden: Our New Lead Gardener!

At Khan Ohana Foundation, we believe in “Ohana”—and families grow together. We are so excited to introduce our new Backyard Garden Project, and even more excited to announce we’ve officially employed a talented member of our refugee community to lead the way!

By hiring from within the community we serve, this project becomes a living intersection of our work:

Entrepreneurial Spirit: Creating stable, meaningful employment and professional leadership opportunities.

Refugee & Immigrant Services: Honoring the incredible agricultural wisdom and skills our newcomers bring to their new home.

This isn’t just a garden—it’s a workspace, a classroom, and a sanctuary where we plant the seeds of self-sufficiency together.

Many thanks to those who have contributed their time, energy and space. Special thanks to Mike Holmes for our plants!
