Rayjon at 40: Celebrating Four Decades of Solidarity

This year marks an inspiring milestone. Rayjon Share Care turns 40! 

What began as the dream of two friends has grown into four decades of global impact grounded in care, partnership, and solidarity. Over these years, with your support, Rayjon’s work has supported programs that:

✨ Educate more than 6,500 primary students in Haiti and the Dominican Republic
✨ Support over 2,000 adults on their literacy journey
✨ Empower 400+ women entrepreneurs with small loans
✨ Match 23,400+ pairs of prescription glasses
✨ Provide tuition support to 1,800+ students

And so much more beyond what numbers can capture, from strengthened community leadership to lifelong friendships that span borders.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who has walked alongside Rayjon, including supporters, partners, and global citizens committed to justice and dignity. Here is to the next 40 years of shared purpose and possibility.

We are also excited to share that our events calendar is now live online. You can find upcoming gatherings, event, and webinars all in one place here:

Docs at Dusk: Bringing Global Stories Local

Next week (Feb 11) marks the first screening in the series, featuring Stateless, a compelling documentary that explores what it means to live without citizenship and the human impact of statelessness. This film invites reflection and conversation on belonging, rights, and identity.
