“Objective, achievements, goals for future:the rebuilding alliance was founded in 2003 as a non-profit organization under the irs code section 501c(3) charitable organization in the state of california. Since registering, the rebuilding alliance has been working with coalitions of people and groups around the world to provide humanitarian aid to war-torn neighborhoods, and to promote citizen and diplomatic engagement worldwide to make them safe through advocacy, education, and support. The rebuilding alliance started by partnering with many non-governmental organizations to help various communities build homes and schools. The organization strengthens the voices of peacemakers, advocates, and families in need. Rebuilding alliance is dedicated to advancing equal rights for the palestinian people through education, advocacy, and support that assures palestinian families the right to a home, schooling, economic security, safety, and a promising future. 50% of ras time goes to the by the hands of your people hot meals program. In november, 2023, rebuilding alliance (ra) was selected by the world food programme to be their first hot meals provider in the gaza strip. Ra, through our long-term partnerships with palestinian non-governmental organizations (all vetted in accordance with u.s. Law), is currently serving approximately 60,000 hot meals per day at 21 kitchens in the gaza strip. We hope to expand this program to feed more people in need. 30% of rebuilding alliances time is allocated to education and advocacy. Rebuilding alliances advocacy program began in 2008 when ra asked constituents to ask their members of congress to intervene to stop the demolition of a palestinian village and their kindergarten. Since 2015, rebuilding alliance has been bringing palestinian youth to congress to share their visions of peace and their personal experiences. Ra holds contact congress campaigns (in-person and via zoom) with guest speakers from israel and palestine to connect constituents with their members of congress. This is not lobbying. Constituents ask their members of congress to intervene with federal agencies on a time sensitive matter such as extending the medical truce to include all children in gazas polio vaccination program.12% of rebuilding alliances time goes to the gaza emergency relief appealthis program began in 2019 and is now providing families in gaza with blankets, food boxes, winter clothes and shoes, tarps, and tents when we find them locally available.
