The Immigrant & Refugee Center of Northern Colorado’s generous donation to Ilalle Hill Organization of four boxes of children’s books and one laptop fills us with deep gratitude.

This kindness will meaningfully strengthen our literacy programs and enhance our ability to carry out daily administrative work, ensuring that children and families have greater access to learning opportunities and supportive services.

 

We deeply value this partnership and generosity. Your support is a powerful reminder that collaboration builds strong networks, and that when communities come together, we share not only resources but also hope.

This contribution will make a real and lasting difference in the lives of the children and families we serve, and we look forward to continuing to work together to build a stronger, more connected community.

WOMEN SEEDS OF HOPE - KAKUMA - KALOBEYEI SETTLEMENT

By Lojohomoi Lorensio • July 20, 2026
During my recent Africa visit, I witnessed the resilience of farming women, seeds of hope in Kakuma Kalobeyei, an integrated settlement with an arid environment, scorching heat, water shortages, and a limited food to supply the entire refugee settlement population. The women, Seeds of Hope in Kakuma- Kalobeyei settlement, decided to organize themselves to till the ground with and irrigate it despite limited water sources. The little bit of rainwater was sufficient to grow vegetables to feed their families. Because of the situation of limited water, no fencing, no tools, and no drought-resistant seeds to improve and expand community gardens, Ilalle Hill Organization is reaching out to the friends, colleagues, and well-wishers across the globe on behalf of the women of the Seeds of Hope. Kakuma Kalobeyei settlement needs support and cash donations to help expand, improve, and grow more food to feed their families and others around the villages of Kalobyei settlement. Hunger and a massive nutrition crisis is hitting the Kakuma refugees hard.  The Ilalle Hill Organization team is available to answer questions about Womens’ Seeds of Hope in Kalobeyei Kakuma refugee camp.
