While we understand the importance of humanitarian aid in times of crisis; as a community, we have a responsibility to think beyond that. Our support for a liberated and free Palestine is far and beyond what out-dated international donor development models of aid allow. The impact we want to see is: liberation for the Palestinian people.
We invite you to join us for a meal and meaningful conversations about solidarity and the importance of supporting Palestinian-led organisations providing emergency
responses on the ground, such as Dalia Association.
This event is organised by SHU restaurant in respectful consultation with our dear friend; Palestinian artist, herbalist and independent researcher Rasha Tayeh, founder of Beit e’Shai.
Welcoming Tea:
Zhourat Organic
Herbal Tea Special
About Dalia Association:
“Dalia Association is a community foundation that realizes our rights as Palestinians to control our resources for our own durable development for generations to come. Our mission is to mobilise and properly utilise resources necessary to empower a vibrant, independent, and accountable civil society, through community-controlled grant-making.
Our community development approach focuses on the ecological, local economy, social and cultural dimensions. Dalia’s main priority is to allocate and mobilises local resources to serve community needs and priorities. “ - Dalia Association
Since October 7th 2023, We have witnessed a genocide assault in Gaza resulting in more than 8,000 men, women and children killed. This resulted in a catastrophic situation in Gaza in all terms of infrastructure, health services, availability of basic
human needs (including food, water, electricity, and shelter).
Dalia Association as part of the community philanthropy is fundraising to donate to the Gaza Fund, which will respond to the needs and priorities of the community.
Directly and once, there is access of implementation in Gaza, Dalia will establish a committee of civil society representatives that will set the priorities. Taking into consideration that there is daily update of the needs and support for Gaza. The civil society committee will priorities the needs that may vary from humanitarian, health support, psychological support and/or providing grant-based support to community services initiatives that all will help to rebuild Gaza.
Main Goals:
1. Allocate resources to respond to the needs and priorities of the community.
2. Support the rebuild of Gaza directly after the war
Current running activities under Gaza Fund:
- Dukkan (reused shop at Dalia Association) donated clothes to Gazan workers who were expelled to the Westbank area, left with no shelter nor taking their personal supplies.
- Dalia provided through the community Kitchen to provide meals to Gaza workers in collaboration with local community-based organisations.
