i made several posts about the dire situation of electricity in gaza and how households barely receive 2-4 hours of electricity a day and how this affects patients in hospitals greatly. i always get people asking how they can help and today i found out about SunBox, an initiative started by young entrepreneurs in gaza to build and distribute solar kits to families in gaza. here’s a link to their crowdfunding campaign (they only have 6 days left!)
although they have reached $50k, that is their minimum goal and donations still count. as they explain, more donations mean more discounts for struggling families:
“Since we started working, Gaza’s economy collapsed, and people have fewer savings.
Raising $50K will allow us to give 500 families discounts to our system.
With $75K we will increase the discount and with $100K we will help more than 1,250 families to receive the kit.
That’s more than 7,000 people who will be able to use it for both personal or commercial use.”
5 days left!
Few hours left and they’re only less than 1000 short of their new goal!!! Yallah!
