Khadarlis Turns 7 Today!

A lot of things have happened on May 1st.

Great Britain was formed, the Empire State Building opened, and a thousand other events that we won't mention yet. But do you know what else happened?

It was this day 7 years ago, that our two founders made Khadarlis a reality. That's right, Khadarlis turns seven years old today.

A Step Back

We've come a long way in seven years. If you didn't know we originally called ourselves Khadarlis for Sierra Leone, and we were all about aiding the people of Sierra Leone recover from the brutal civil war they experienced.

Of course, many of the projects we started are still helping people. Then, in 2010 we decided to open up a thrift store to help people locally. And while our thrift store is gone (even though we just had a phone call about it yesteday!), it started us down the path to help people in Rhode Island. Our Donation Program and other great programs came out of this first effort.

We've served a lot of people both in the US in Sierra Leone and used a lot of personal resources. But we're not complaining, we're happy to serve people who really need help.

The Greatest Birthday Gift

Now, most people will ask you for a birthday present or wait for a Facebook notification when it's their birthday. We would love for you to do the same!
