We Did It!! π We have successfully reached our goal of $10,000! Thank you so much for your support!!
But even though we have reached out initial goal, you can still support our campaign so that we can go above and beyond for Anera and the displaced Palestinians in Gaza. ποΈ
Distribute Aid aims to support displaced people globally, not just in Gaza. A generous donor will match your donations up to $10,000 to assist refugees in Lebanon, Bosnia, France, Greece as well. And the new Field Coordinator program will allow this.
Keep donating! We appreciate your support. ποΈ

If you can't donate, I encourage you to contribute by spreading the word. This can mean a simple share here, on bluesky or messaging a few friends and loved ones.
Maybe send one of those fliers to them and tell them to do the same if they feel like it.
I'm grateful for all the help we can get β€οΈ
There is 1,8 million people displaced in Gaza, and the basic necessity of clean clothes becomes a luxury. Access to clean water is limited. Over 1,5 million people in Gaza have contracted infections, and skin diseases.
Keep donating! Keep sharing so that we can send new clothing and shoes to GazaποΈ
Hospitals and ambulances in Gaza are a regular target. Medical supplies are scarce due to high injury rate, and limited import. Over 700,000 women lack proper menstrual hygiene items, leading to health risks and psychological distress.
We can provide some relief! Keep donating! Keep sharing! ποΈ

Distribute Aid will send over $500,000 worth of aid to Anera and displaced people in Gaza, with YOUR help! We encourage you to support a worthy cause during this Dhul Hijjah, in the spirit of generosity and empathy. Donations received will cover shipment costs from the US to Gaza!
As we enter the month of Dhul Hijjah, a sacred time for Muslims, we are launching a fundraising campaign that will run for 10 days to provide medical supplies, hygiene kits, and clothing to displaced people in Gaza. Join us in making a difference during this period of gratitude and compassion!
DA is looking to team up with businesses who would like to donate part of their profits, and other people/initiatives who have creative fundraising ideas to support our upcoming fundraiser from June 7th! Reach out to us at hello@distributeaid.org, and make a positive difference this June! ποΈ
We are happy to announce the departure of humanitarian aid from Utah, USA to Beirut, Lebanon as part of our Gaza Response! Lifting Hands International has worked with Anera to put together hygiene, school, and womenβs kits for easy distribution to people in need.
DA acted as a Logistics Advisor for @katalyst.kitchens, advising on the shipment of 244 solar panels from Germany to Moldova, with Frach Collective as an advisor. The panels will provide stable,, and renewable, electricity for Katalyst's Resource Center to support Ukrainian refugee families.
That is why the services provided by our frontline partners are so important, as often time non-profits are the only ones able to provide specific support.
To help us and our partners continue supporting all vulnerable communities in Lebanon, donate at: donorbox.org/help-distrib... !!!
Gaza Response Context Highlight!
Since late 2019, Lebanon has been recovering from a devastating economic collapse which lead to high unemployment and food insecurity. Displaced Palestinians in Lebanon are living in overcrowded camps, and cannot get a citizenship nor a work visa.
DAβs role in this project will be to tap into the previously acquired knowledge and skills, and ultimately connect small frontline groups with larger players such as logistics suppliers and in-kind donors. Currently, this project is in its initial stages.
Stay tuned for more updates! π
The Gulf Coast Project utilizes the idea that local communities are ideally poised to respond to disasters in their own areas. This comes on the basis that they know their own needs most clearly and have a long-term stake in the community's well-being.
$100k worth of clothing items secured. We're shipping it to ANERA's Gaza team. The new shoes will make a huge impact for people who are repeatedly displaced, often on foot.
Today, we highlight a Gaza Response In-Kind Donation of over 420 boxes of sweaters and shoes combined!! The items were an anonymous donation and will be able to meet approximately 1,181 human needs. The shipment will be forwarded to Anera in the Middle East.
Recently, DA managed a shipment of 88,000 soap bars, generously donated by @glasgowcaringcity and @soapworksltd. The donation was received by @christianrefugeerelief in the Netherlands for further distribution.
A big thank you to all involved in making this shipment possible!
Shipment Pick Up Highlight!!
This previous Friday, a shipment of more than 10 thousand items of clothing and hygiene were picked up from Lifting Hands International's warehouse in the USA. The donations are en route to LHI in Odesa, Ukraine. Items will be forwarded to local partners.
So far, we have brought together around 24 groups to support people through this response. With their help, as a coalition we have been able to gather in-kind donations of medicines, food, clothing, and shelter items as prioritised by the partner on the ground.
We jump-started this process by including our existing networks of grassroots aid organisations, in-kind donors, and logistics industry partners.
We host a joint response call every other week where independent organisations can receive frontline updates, ask questions, and offer aid and support.
Gaza Response Project Highlight!
Since late 2023, Distribute Aid has been helping extend @aneraorgβs capacity to source aid in the USA and Europe, and ship it to support people in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, and Jordan.
@distributeaid.org is committed to a long-term region-wide response. We have 500,000 aid items ready to send to Anera RIGHT NOW, but need to fund the shipping...
Look up Collective Aid and Kompass71 and show them your support. We were blown away by the resiliency of their teams and the amount of support they're able to provide with "just" volunteers and tiny budgets!
We spent the day getting to know the details of their work on a daily basis, what items they distribute the most, what items they will most need in the upcoming period, and the possible other ways in which we can assist and expand our collaborations. This is from our visit with Collective Aid.
