Sponsor a milaya artistGet a digital message from the milaya artists who will benefit from your donation. Gift it to yourself or send it to a loved one! The funds raised will go directly back to the women's collectives we work with. More than 80 percent of refugees in Bidibidi refugee camp are women, many of whom were widowed in the war and are raising their own children along with orphans and relatives' children. For $25 a woman can feed her children for three weeks or pay
