The Seattle Gaza Mutual Aid project supports Gazans — both in Gaza and Cairo — to survive and rebuild their lives.
We are supporting survivors of the war directly through the establishment and running of the Meera Centre, an educational & healing center for children and families in addition to being a distribution point for humanitarian goods, the ongoing work of the Gaza Circus School and through direct support to families in need.
We also work to raise awareness and gather support in our home communities, primarily in Seattle, through arts, speaking engagements & dialogue. If there is an event that could host us with a presentation and table for sales and donations, please contact us.
