Fundraiser: Authors Read for Gaza (25 September 2025)
Manage episode 509282790 series 3692930
A special evening of rolling author readings to raise funds for two essential organisations in Gaza:
The Sameer Project
The Sameer Project is a Palestinian-led medical care organisation for Gaza. Their mission is to provide essential medical treatment and supplies to individuals and families in Gaza who require it most urgently, and crucially they utilise existing products in the market that will not need to cross any borders.
The Arab Group for the Protection of Nature
The Arab Group for the Protection of Nature (APN) is dedicated to protecting natural resources amidst the increasing challenges and threats they face, particularly as a result of conflicts, wars, and occupation. Funds raised will be donated to their Gaza Farms Revitalization Project which aims to rehabilitate Gaza's agricultural sector, restore local food systems to combat famine and blockade, and establish food sovereignty.
Huge thanks to everyone that gave a reading, as well as everyone that attended and donated. 100% of proceeds from the evening, including ticket sales, book sales, and drinks is being split between The Sameer Project and APN.
