Someone learned about our org recently and sent this message: “Thank you for the incredible work you’re doing to build trust in generosity and equip donors to make a meaningful impact around the world.”

That phrase made us smile. “Trust in generosity” is the whole reason Mite exists. Most donors don’t stop giving because they stop caring. They stop because they give and then hear nothing. No updates, no evidence, no idea if anything at all changed.

So we built Mite around one idea. Donors should see what their giving does. Our team visits every project in person to validate it was completed. Our donors receive field updates during the project with the progress and the people it will help. And every completed project ends with a Celebration Video, real footage of the actual outcome.

We’re over 70 projects in and the number isn’t what we’re most proud of. It’s that our donors trust giving again!

Every pattern and color combination in this huipil (traditional tunic) and corte (skirt) is specific to the weaver’s village in Guatemala. It’s a visual record of where she’s from, like a dialect made from thread.

Different regions have completely different designs, passed down through generations on backstrap looms.
A single huipil can take weeks to weave, using dyes that come from plants and insects. It’s not just clothing. It’s a map of family history and tradition, worn every single day.

When our team goes infield, we spend time learning about things like this. We want to know the depth of cultural knowledge in everyday life and document traditions that are still being carried out today.

That’s why we believe in on the ground storytelling. The story isn’t just what a project funds. It’s the people, the history, the traditions that make a community who they are!

Palmira held her daughter close, fighting back tears. Her 2-year-old, Toyani, was suffering from Severe Acute Malnutrition. Like any mother, she held on and searched for help.

Then Toyani started receiving therapeutic milk. Slowly, she regained her strength. Before long, Palmira was able to take her daughter home.

This Celebration Video shows just how life-saving that milk is. Through Project 72, Mite’s Giving Community partnered with @savingmoses to provide F-75 and F-100 milk treatments to approximately 460 babies in Angola. Each one given the chance to grow, to heal, and to live.

@g.pirrotta_ the videographer we chose to capture this story said it best.

“I am grateful to Mite and @savingmoses for trusting me with the responsibility of documenting the situation.

As storytellers, we often speak about the importance of giving visibility to overlooked stories.

Inside those clinics, I met mothers fighting battles that most of us will never have to face. I saw children whose lives depended on something as simple, and as precious, as access to therapeutic milk. I witnessed the consequences of severe acute malnutrition, but also the extraordinary resilience of families who refuse to give up despite overwhelming circumstances.

These are not easy stories to tell. Nor are they easy stories to look at. Yet they deserve to be seen. Awareness is often the first step toward action.

I feel privileged to have documented these stories and to have met the people behind them. Their strength, dignity and determination will stay with me forever.”

Full video coming soon. taken in Angola by @miteorganization

In Angola, hunger has a face and it’s heartbreakingly small.

1 in 16 children there will not live to see their fifth birthday. Most die from Severe Acute Malnutrition, a preventable condition that slowly robs babies of the nutrients their bodies need to survive. When a baby doesn’t get enough nourishment, they become too weak to move. Too weak to cry and eventually their bodies stop fighting.

Our team traveled to Angola at the beginning of this year to document what your generosity made possible through Project 72: Operation Milk Drop — a first-time partnership with @savingmoses an organization built specifically to reach babies and toddlers in places where help is hardest to find.

Inside their clinics, therapeutic milk does what food alone cannot. Babies first receive F-75, a gentle formula that stabilizes their fragile systems. Once their strength returns, they move to F-100, which helps rebuild healthy weight and growth. Over four to six weeks, this milk can be the difference between life and death.

Project 72 provided this treatment to approximately 460 babies across Angola’s malnutrition clinics.

These photos were taken inside those clinics. They are not easy to look at.

This week we’ll release the Celebration Video - including the story of Palmira, a mother who never let go of her daughter Toyani.

Soun Sreyneang was once the girl in the back of the classroom. The one who missed school out of shame. Who hid stains in silence. Who thought her period was a curse — something to endure alone.

Today she stands at the front of that classroom and teaches.

Project 69: Dignity in Every Classroom is complete. 1,000 girls across Cambodia received menstrual health kits so their period is never again a reason to stay home. Teachers trained. A national curriculum changed.

We are celebrating every girl this reached and every one it will reach because of what this community started.

For this Celebration Video, our team had an idea. We asked a Cambodian teacher to sit down and write a letter to her younger self. She didn’t hesitate.

“To the girl who sat quietly in the back of the classroom.
Who stopped playing when the blood came.
Who was too ashamed to ask what was happening.
Who worried that you would miss school again.  Who thought her monthly bleeding was a curse. Something to endure in silence.
I see you. Because I was you.”

This is her letter.

In Cambodia, girls miss school every month because of something no one will talk about.

Period poverty affects more than 500 million women worldwide. In Cambodia, girls grow up without accurate information about their own bodies, rely on cloth or scraps of fabric during their periods, and stay home from school out of shame. Menstrual health is largely absent from school curricula. Teachers feel unprepared to address it. The silence gets passed from mother to daughter.

Our team traveled to Ratanakiri Province to document what your giving made possible through Project 69: Dignity in Every Classroom — Mite’s fourth project with @daysforgirls across Kenya, Nepal, Malawi, and now Cambodia, and their most ambitious yet. This time working directly with Cambodia’s Ministry of Education to integrate menstrual health education into the national school system.

What your giving made possible:
1,000 locally produced washable pad kits distributed to young girls
Teachers across Cambodia trained to lead menstrual health conversations for the first time
Menstrual health education integrated into Cambodia’s national school curriculum

Project 69 was completed in March, 2026. This week, we’ll release the Celebration Video.

We went to Nigeria to find out what your giving actually did. This is what we found.

"God, what is this? Am I having a disabled child?"

This is what Mercy thought the moment she saw her baby's feet for the first time. She had never heard of clubfoot. She didn't know what it meant. All she could think was — my boy is not going to walk.

What she didn't know yet was that Ariel's father Chinedu had been born with the same condition. And had overcome it.

This is their story.
