Updated Call for Donations: Sanitary Needs in Camps for Displaced Persons in Gaza

Dear all,

We, Seba and Tom, are raising donations for the construction of toilets and showers in the camps for internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Gaza, in an effort to reduce the threat of a sanitary crisis, the exposure to viruses and sewage, and the spreading of diseases. Our first week of fund-raising has already allowed us to assist with the construction of three units, each is comprised of two toilets and two shower cabinets and serves approximately 60 persons – and this is a great success indeed.

The toilets and showers are made of tents that are connected to a sewage line; with your donations, and the assistance of "Damur for Community Development" , we are able buy these components and equipment through Gaza Life Power , and they are then installed by the community. Our aim is to build 200 units within the next months, with each unit costing approximately 500€. In the photos attached, you can see the construction process of such a unit that has already been funded.

We have created a donation "fund" that is coordinated and monitored by me (Tom); I am in charge of collecting the donations, listing them, and then transferring them to the west bank through Damur or to Gaza, while keeping a conscientious log that is transparent and accessible to all those who have donated.

All donations, in all sums, are significant and appreciated – you can donate directly to our PayPal address: paypal.me/cleanshelter, and/or contact us via email: cleanshelter.ngo@gmail.com. You are also very welcomed to share our call for donations on social media (Facebook: https://shorturl.at/clqB6 ; Instagram: https://shorturl.at/jtxQ4), and/or send it to friends and acquaintances that may be interested in contributing to our donation fund.

We thank you in advance and wish you all a happy, better new year,

Seba and Tom.
