Project aims
RBB empowers community partners and the Palestinian diaspora to deliver urgent aid in Gaza, equipping our team with humanitarian aid and NGO management skills. We focus on personal growth, community resilience, and developing transferable skills for sustainable, long term impact.
Project description
Our "Gaza: Heart of our Hearts" initiative is a critical community-led response to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. This project embodies resilience and unity, with messages of hope and solidarity from our Palestinian team prominently featured on all aid materials. We employ two strategic approaches: partnering with local organizations in Palestine to source and distribute aid and sending essential supplies from Egypt to Gaza, overcoming challenges to deliver aid where it's needed most.
RBB collaborates with organizations across the UK, Palestine, and internationally, adapting swiftly to changing political landscapes. Our needs-driven approach is informed by real-time assessments and direct feedback from affected communities, ensuring that our interventions are timely and effective. We focus on delivering life-saving supplies, including food, water, medical aid, clothing, and hygiene products.
Through our extensive networks of community members and Palestinian aid stakeholders, we amplify the impact of our efforts. We empower local leaders with knowledge sharing and mentorship, addressing immediate needs and building long-term community capacity.
Since October 7, 2023, RBB has directly impacted over 40,000 lives, showcasing the power of grassroots action. Our advocacy campaigns aim to prevent human rights violations and inspire global solidarity. Your grant will enable us to continue this vital work, ensuring aid reaches those who need it most and empowering Palestinian communities to lead their recovery and future.
