Sawaed Aid was founded in 2024 by two friends during the war in Gaza. As a dedicated team operating from Canada and Gaza, our mission is to work hand-in-hand to address the urgent needs of our brothers and sisters in Gaza.
Our approach is a grassroots-driven model—our team in Gaza is not just a partner, but an integral part of our initiative.
Our contextually embedded model has allowed us to design projects that respond with sensitivity and local knowledge.
Our team leads the effort in fundraising and connects with supporters who share our vision of direct, impactful aid.
Every dollar raised is sent directly to our team, who are on the ground, implementing Sawaed Aid projects and providing essential aid where it’s most needed.
This direct connection ensures that our efforts are not only effective but also deeply rooted in the communities we aim to support.
We are committed to alleviating suffering and fostering resilience for those facing severe hardships and displacement in Gaza. With your support, we can make a direct and meaningful impact.
Through over 30 projects, we have delivered food parcels, cooked meals, hygiene support, cash assistance, medical support and other essential aid to displaced families and orphans in Gaza. With every donation, you can help grow our impact. If you would like to get involved in helping us fundraise or partner with us, reach out to us by emailing at support@sawaedaid.ca.
Our team has been delivering aid during times of crisis, including during the closure of aid crossings and shortages in Gaza’s local market. All donations are used in managing our humanitarian response on the ground. This includes purchase and distribution of aid to beneficiaries.
