Dear partners,
We hope you are well during these troubling times. Today, in the midst of crisis, we are turning to you for support. During these impossibly difficult times, we are launching an emergency appeal to support Palestinian Bedouin communities in the South, which have been decimated by rocket fire and forgotten by the wider Israeli public. Now, along with other Palestinians in Israel, activists are being targeted and arrested by the Israeli police. These communities lack nearly any infrastructure or government support to provide help, and while mobile bomb shelters have been delivered to other cities and towns in Israel, Bedouin villages have been left out.
At Sadaka Reut, we have been working with Bedouin students in the Negev for several years, and we are currently working with locals to open several emergency support groups that will give psychological support geared towards strengthening resilience in the face of extreme trauma. We are opening a group for mothers, a group for recent high school graduates, and a group for middle schoolers, among others. Our local partners would like to expand this project to even more groups, and we are working to open support groups for our hundreds of alumni in the Negev as well. You can donate here. Any amount you can give, or sharing this link with others, will help us provide critical assistance during this unimaginable crisis.
In solidarity,
The Sadaka-Reut Team
