Dear All,

Yesterday marks the grand opening of The Shop @ Ritsona, all made possible by everyone who donated and shared this campaign!

It was a huge success - every family came on time to their appointment bought their ID papers and enjoyed a real retail experience. Husbands helped their wives choose hijabs, sisters advised brothers on jean choices and everyone had time to browse the rails, free from the chaos an indignity of previous clothes distributions. Finally seeing families able to shop together for the first time in Ritsona brought many of us to tears of joy.

So thank you everyone, we have done something amazing here.

Best,

Katie and Sarah
