Eight Weeks of Crisis: Expand Relief and Support Displaced Families
It’s been eight weeks but as the needs are only intensifying now is no time to stop. More urgently than before, we need your support to sustain and expand our efforts in order to:
👉Enhance food security: To equip kitchens, provide hot meals, train cooks on food safety and hygiene and provide food boxes and supplies for families to cook their own meals. To date, Bedayati has provided over 65,000 wholesome hot and cold meals in 18 shelters and schools, upgraded two kitchens and provided kitchen cookware and utensils to 4 schools and shelters.
👉Provide skills training: To ensure that post-crisis, displaced and host communities have the skills to become financially autonomous. Bedayati is implementing its skills training activities, including foundational skills training (English) for displaced women and youth and vocational training in pastry and web development.
👉Promote well-being: Cooking together for 55 days was itself a healing process for many Bedayati team members and volunteers, a third of whom have themselves been displaced. According to one volunteer, “Sometimes one would like to help but doesn’t know how. Bedayati provided me with the way and I’ve been volunteering with all my heart.” Another volunteer explained that she volunteered in as much to help others as she did for her own mental health and wellbeing. In addition to cooking together, some of our team members have been directly serving the community through carrying out recreational activities with children and coordinating clothes donation drives, with over 1,300 items donated so far.
Please join our efforts to ensure that temporary displacement does not prevent those affected from accessing their basic rights including to decent shelter, education, and agency.
