Bradford women’s group fundraises for Human Foundation’s Palestine Emergency Appeal

A women’s group based in BD3 has recently raised funds to provide much needed aid supplies to communities in Gaza.

The Roshni Women’s Group raised nearly £2,000 for Human Relief Foundation’s Palestine Emergency Appeal during their recent learning workshops and children’s activities taking place at the their education centre, adjacent to Masjid E Usman.

Human Relief Foundation (HRF), are a Bradford based humanitarian aid charity, working to provide food & water security and refugee care to some of the most dangerous and impoverished areas of the world. The charity has been working with partners in Jordan since the conflict began, providing vital food aid to those whose lives have been turned upside down. 

Thanks to the generous donations from groups like the Roshni Women, and individuals, HRF has been able to provide three non-perishable food supply convoys and set up a mobile kitchen in city of Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip, when access has been granted. The organisation’s next aid delivery is expected to leave Jordan in the next month.

Mohammed Talhah, Fundraiser (North) with HRF expressed praise for the group’s generosity: “On behalf of HRF, I’d like to thank Roshni Women’s group for the generosity they have shown, collaborating with us and providing the opportunity to raise funds, which has allowed us to provide vital, essential aid, for those caught up in this humanitarian crisis. 

It’s fantastic to be able to work with local organisations that put community service at the forefront of their work.”

Tahera Kacholia, chair of the Roshni Women’s Group added: “Whilst we have worked and continue to work with various charities, we invited Human Relief Foundation to fundraise with us due to their reputable standing and its ongoing hard work and dedication in raising awareness and funds for the charity’s Palestine Emergency Appeal.”
