From Aid to Action: How Your Support Turned Into $20,000 of Direct Relief — and a Path to Economic Resistance
Last year, with your support, we’ve been able to do more than we ever imagined.
Thanks to our community of buyers, donors, and friends, we raised and distributed over $20,000 in emergency relief for Palestinian families facing war, starvation, and displacement.
That support went directly into food, shelter, and basic supplies — no middlemen, no big NGOs, just people helping people.
But the struggle doesn’t stop with relief. It continues in exile, in uncertainty, and in survival.
🇵🇸 Supporting Displaced Palestinian Families in Egypt
As thousands of families have been forcibly displaced from Gaza to Egypt, many of them are left with nothing — no legal status, no support, and no resources.
We are now actively supporting some of these families — especially women — with small grants to help them start micro-handmade businesses: embroidery, gifts, crafts, soaps, and more. These are not just survival tools — they are dignified ways to rebuild, to resist, and to provide for children under impossible conditions.
These makers are displaced twice — once from their homes, and again by an international community that has looked away.
We see them. And with your help, we’re standing by them.
🌱 What’s Next: Building Cooperatives for Economic Liberation
Relief is not enough. We’re now preparing to launch a funding campaign to support Palestinian cooperatives — led by workers, farmers, and craftspeople, producing goods for export.
The goal:
-
Independent income for Palestinian families
-
Economic networks disconnected from colonial control
-
A real step toward an economy by the people, for the people
This is part of our economic and social struggle for liberation.
Because long after the bombs stop, we need to survive, to build, and to own our future.
