We’re ready to break ground on the playground at Senda 2!

Play is a human right recognized by the UN & is essential for children's health. The need for a playground speaks for itself in these images.

A huge thank you to @gdirc_ for helping us to finalise the playground plans.

With just a Wi-Fi-capable device, users can access educational content, including videos, interactive games, experiments, books, tests & more.

This project will connect #refugees in remote & low-resource settings to teachers & higher education.

See the prototyping in action!

Displacement causes a massive disruption to kids' access to #education.

To address this, over the past year, our engineers have been working on developing the “SolidarityPi” - a remote learning device that uses #RaspberryPi technology to bring education to refugee camps.

Water restrictions at Senda De Vida, a ministry in Reynosa offering shelter to migrants awaiting US asylum.

[Solidarity Engineering @solidarityeng]

heat wave�� + water shortage🚱 = public health crisis🚨

This sign shows the limited hours that showers are open at Senda de Vida, a shelter housing around 2,000 asylum-seekers.

Water is a large part of our services and, especially in these conditions, water is life.

Pastor Hector has improved the lives of so many people. He is vital to the border response, and we are so grateful to work with him (and many others) at the border.

Pastor Hector opened his church doors to asylum seekers in 1999. In 2021 migration to Reynosa skyrocketed & he expanded the capacity of his shelter from 200 to 1700

This @Newsy clip was shot in May, yet so much has already changed, reflecting the unpredictable nature of our work

We were lucky enough to partner with @VillanovaU's learning program through which we had alumni Siobhan join our field team!

Siobhan was an incredible addition & we can’t thank her enough.

She recently shared her experiences in a StoryMap, check it out: https://t.co/dBDH115iB5

Art inspires creativity & connection; it positively impacts our health & well-being, & is important for a happy life.

So, we asked an artist from El Salvador to paint the walls of the new refugee shelter in Reynosa, Mexico.

Here's how it went:
