Giving Tuesday
For Giving Tuesday, we are funding one month of requests for each of our 20 Duet families. This will allow families to immediately get the items they need to bounce back from COVID-19 and continue to rebuild their lives.

Meet a Family
Rebuilding lives, together.
When you fund a family, you fund their future.
The Duet team met a young man named Faramarz and his family in February of 2019. He told us that he had loved playing soccer since he was a child, enjoyed watching Game of Thrones, and shared the difficulties of meeting his mother’s needs as a diabetic. We spoke through a translator.
Through Duet, Faramarz asked for a soccer ball, cleats, and shin guards which were promptly donated by a fellow soccer lover. He was then able to join the soccer league on the island, making friends and socializing with his new neighbors, many of whom worked as translators on the Island.

Months later, Faramarz requested and received a laptop, an important tool in rebuilding his life. He set to work - watching all the seasons of Game of Thrones in English, only needing to use subtitles for seasons 1 and 2. Soon, Faramarz was fluent enough to not only enjoy his favorite show but also to find a job. Through his new network of friends Faramarz was hired as a translator by Doctors Without Borders!
Faramarz is now financially self-sufficient, and uses his position to contribute to other refugees in the community. After a year with Duet, he proudly shared his story with us, translator free.
Every refugee's journey is different, and the road to rebuilding is always unique. Duet believes that refugees know best what they need to rebuild their lives. Not every family will watch Game of Thrones, play soccer, and become translators, but when given the opportunity, they all have what it takes to rebuild their lives. Join them on their journey.
Do good, better.
Our Duet families will select items at local stores that they need to rebuild their lives. We will fund those items with your donation by routing money directly to the local store owner. The family will then pick up the item, and we’ll update you on exactly what you funded.
