In Focus – This past summer, MCC shipped more than 12,000 school kits and comforters to Somalia, where they were distributed to schools in Kismayo, Jubaland State. Many of the children there are internally displaced people or are returning refugees, and they don’t have basic school supplies. Read more about why these shipments are so important.
