Create Essential Kits for Homes

Individuals and Small Groups

Gather a team and assemble at your place of work, school, or community center while ASOH provides a fully furnished home designed for the important essential furniture items, such as sofas, beds, and dining tables that turn an empty space into a home, ASOH also provides the essentials for each room — so that each room functions optimally. The kinds of items you would typically find in cupboards. The items that our beneficiaries can cook with, eat with, set a table with, and all the items in the bathroom to keep them hygienic. For every child in a home, ASOH provides much needed baby supplies, clothing, shoes, books, school supplies, toys, games, and puzzles. Click here to find each list for each room. Click here for all of the kits that you can make for kids and babies.
