Daniel Adibi and Advaith Kollipara founded Refugee School Supplies. 'It is a population we care deeply about - especially since we are both children of immigrants,' Daniel said.
In this week's "Be Kind," two young men are using their entrepreneurial spirit for good.The non-profit delivers much-needed school supplies to Philadelphia-area refugee children.
Just $28 can cover the cost of a bookbag filled with supplies to last the student for an entire year.Daniel spoke about what the project means to them. "The refugee crisis has been longstanding, but with the recent events in Afghanistan and Ukraine, it's more critical than ever. We've both volunteered in the past with other organizations to do refugee work as it is a population we care deeply about - especially since we are both children of immigrants," Daniel said.
Since launching the non-profit, Daniel and Advaith have partnered with several local organizations in the Delaware Valley, including the United Afghan Association and Nationalities Service Center. They have raised enough money so far for 50 refugee students and will be able to give them the supplies just in time for the school year to start."We are a local non-profit with the goal of providing refugees in the Greater Philadelphia area with the school supplies they need for success. Many refugees come to America with very few possessions and cannot afford to purchase the supplies their children need.
