ámaxa members on the Gaza project team are urgently raising funds to support families trapped in Gaza amidst the ongoing humanitarian crisis. For the Summer 2024 cohort, the team focused on raising money. The funds went to two families we connected with through our partner: Gaza Champions. These funds were crucial for providing immediate essentials, such as food, to prevent starvation and meet basic needs.

This initiative represents one of Ámaxa’s most critical and urgent efforts, and is unique in its directness and ability to make a difference quickly. This direct and personal approach ensures that the aid reaches those in desperate need without the delays that can occur due to bureaucracy or politics. The situation in Gaza is dire, with many families struggling to access basic necessities due to severe restrictions and ongoing conflict. By contributing to this project, students can provide direct relief and support to those facing unimaginable hardships.

At ámaxa, we believe in the power of direct action and the importance of community-driven support. The Gaza fundraising project is not just about providing financial assistance; it’s about standing in solidarity with those who are suffering and using our resources to make a tangible impact. This project embodies our commitment to humanitarian aid and our belief that everyone deserves access to basic necessities, especially in times of crisis. By supporting these families, we are not only addressing immediate needs but also affirming our dedication to human dignity and compassion.
