Our projects are numerous. Where there is a need, SWIF attempts to answer the need. We rely on good people like yourself to help us give hope and opportunity to some of the poorest people in the United States.
Covid-19 is hitting the Navajo Nation hard. We continue to deliver food, medicine and additional provisions to Native Americans who, for age or health conditions, should not come into Gallup in person. All being done with health and safety in mind, of course.

We are grateful for their work, and thankful for your donations and support of this part of our mission. Click below to see a "day in the life" of our stove crew:
