The Lemon Tree Collective is an organization founded by Helen Fares in early 2024 to evacuate sick children and adults from Gaza.

After doing multiple successful evacuations of families who are now living outside of Gaza and were provided adequate medical treatment, we are now working on three projects in Gaza, Egypt and Syria.

The main project is based in Gaza, where the Lemon Tree Collective is currently providing food aid to 103 families affected by poverty and hunger, and regularly organizing access to clean drinking water in refugee camps. Due to the illegal and inhumane blockade, which has led to severe shortages of food and water, the monthly costs for this work exceed $60,000.

In Egypt, the Collective is providing 30 displaced families from Gaza with safe housing and emergency medical aid.

In Syria, 50 families who have lost their livelihoods due to war are being supported with emergency relief packages.
