| Hello jay, Thank you so much for being a part of ARC. People like you make our work possible! Here's the latest update on what we're up to. Thank you so much for your continuing support. -Daniel Daniel Wordsworth, President *********************************************** + American Refugee Committee Gets 4 Stars! + For the fifth time in a row, ARC has attained the coveted 4-star rating from Charity Navigator for demonstrating strong financial health and commitment to accountability and transparency! The 4-star rating is the highest possible rating – only 6% of the organizations evaluated by Charity Navigator, the leading industry evaluator in America, have received at least 5 consecutive 4-star evaluations. We're on a roll! + World Refugee Day + Monday, June 20 is World Refugee Day. It's a day to celebrate the incredible resiliency of human beings who've survived and thrived through terrible adversity but to also reflect on the global refugee crisis – and how the world is failing a large number of its citizens in their time of greatest vulnerability. Over the last couple of months, ARC has sent teams out to talk to the world's newest refugees, hear from them what their lives are like, and better understand how what it means to be a refugee is changing. Starting on World Refugee Day, we'll share with you some of what we heard and what's happening. + Bringing Water and Building Communities in South Darfur, Sudan + In South Darfur, Sudan, years of conflict have torn communities apart. Even the very infrastructures of villages have been destroyed, including boreholes where families access water – one of the first things that need to be rebuilt before communities can begin again. Our water rehabilitation project in Gereida, South Darfur was Designed and implemented by ARC Senior WASH Coordinator Adam Abaker Zakaria Defaa. The rehabilitation project was a huge success – it made access to water possible for 15,000 men, women and children. We trained community operators and equipped them with tool kits for repair and maintenance of the water yards, empowering communities to continue this vital resource independently. Almost immediately after water was made available, a school opened nearby. Teachers at the school explained that because water is available for the children, they're able to teach again. And, since the rehabilitation began, safe drinking water been consistently available for everyone.
