  • Winter Survival Kit

    Refugees often flee home with just the clothes they’re wearing. Each winter survival kit includes thermal blankets (5), mattresses (3), winter clothes and a plastic sheet to insulate their tent — crucial supplies for a family with only a tent to protect them from the cold.
