Current Campaign
Feed Gazan Families In-Need While Supporting Local FarmersÂ
With over 80% of Gazans living in poverty and 47% unemployed, many families are unsure where their next meal will come from. Taawon is collecting donations this Ramadan to help feed hungry families with fresh, high-quality food purchased from local farmers to alleviate the devastating impact of the blockade on Gaza. A single $200 donation will feed a family for the entire month of Ramadan while also providing vital business to local farmers. Taawon hopes to assist 3,000 families and 400 local farmers over the course of five weeks.
Last year, your donations provided food to 5700 families and supported 530 local vendors, in addition to providing over 1200 workdays to unemployed individuals. Give now to continue this incredible effort and help provide hope and comfort to those who are struggling to put food on the table.
