Love, hope, and a ‘new beginning’ to refugees in need, one Hope Kit at a time.
Who We Are
Meet the Founders
In 2016, Shannen Recio and Sabrina Bojeh recognized the global issue of the refugee crisis and discovered that millions of people are displaced around the world and need help to start a new beginning in a foreign country after being uprooted and displaced from their homes.
After wanting to make care packages for refugee families in Kenya and Turkey where refugees from Somalia and Syria were located, Hope Kits was born.
Since 2016, the pair was able to successfully send out hundreds of school supplies, everyday essentials needed in camps, clothing, and hygiene needs; such as pads and first aid kits to refugees around the world.
HOPE KITS TO SOMALIAN REFUGEES
With our organization’s mission always in mind, we strive to provide the items that the refugees need to start a new beginning. We partnered with Share Africa to send Hope Kits to refugee families in Zambia and Kenya. These Hope Kits contained school supplies to help the students succeed, along with hygienic products which are difficult to acquire in these camps.
SCHOOL SUPPLIES AND MEALS FOR TONDO KIDS
At New Beginnings, we are dedicated to stepping up our efforts in addressing the lack of education and hunger in the Philippines. We were able to fundraise to donate over 400 school supply kits for children ages 4-10. The school supplies serve as tools to help them succeed and alleviate themselves from poverty along with our sponsorship in donating to feed the children for a week! We are always striving to make a difference, and invite you to learn more and lend your support.
Nearly 80 million women, children & men have been forced from their homes as refugees or internally displaced people.
Even more shocking: ten million of them fled in the past year alone.

#WorldRefugeeDay
World Refugee Day is an international day dedicated to raising awareness of the situation of refugees throughout the world. We recognize the hardships of leaving everything you knew behind and trying to start anew. Today, we celebrate the courage and resilience of these refugees.
OUR LATEST SHIPMENT:
Moira Refugee Camp
We were able to ship Hope Kits to Moria Refugee Camp with reusable face masks for the refugees to use to protect themselves as well as school supplies for a makeshift school that is anticipating over 400+ students from the ages of 7-14.
Addressing the current pandemic, refugees are one of the most vulnerable and high-risk populations for COVID-19. Research shows that about one out of every three refugees lives in remote areas with limited health care. There are no nearby hospitals and even with bigger camps, very few of them will have ICUs or ventilators.
Refugees often live with multiple families in very high population-density conditions. It's going to be extremely difficult for them to social distance—because there really isn't anywhere to social distance.
