The Sameer Project desperately needs your support right now. They’ve had to scale back some of their operations due to dwindling funds. Please consider setting up a recurring donation to help sustain their important work!

Three posters with text, made and signed by The Sameer Project and Translating Falasteen. They read:

What this means

Our kitchen closes: At least 3,000 meals a day, feeding up to 9,000 people, not being distributed.

Our water trucks stop: At least 350,000 liters of fresh water a day not being delivered.

Our medical clinics shut down: At least 400 patients not being treated.

Our team pauses: At least 200 ground staff on break without a way to support their families.

[Every 'not' is emphasized in capital letters]

No tents. No tarps. No transport. No medication. No baby formula. Everything people in Gaza rely on to survive is provided by aid organizations, and one by they are having to reduce or pause our operations - because of funding.

[transcriber note: we presume they meant 'one by one']

What is our plan?

Our community has always shown up, but relying solely on crowdfunding going into our third year of operations is not sustainable. We need to create more reliable and predictable streams of funding.

We're working on an action kit to share with you this week, so you can be part of the solution.

We're encouraging people to support us on a monthly basis; sign up for this feature on Chuffed.

We are asking our community to recruit monthly donors so we know how much funding we can expect.

Be an active participant in sustainability - consistency is key.

More to come.

Pausing for long, stopping distributions, ceasing operations, is not an option.

['is not an option' is emphasized in capital letters]

We need your support to create consistency and predictability in an otherwise unstable situation on the ground.

The genocide is not over - so we need to adapt. Consistency is solidarity.

We will be providing more information this week on how you can make a difference.

['You' is emphasized in capital letters]

For now, please give so we can restart our lifesaving work:
