The Lemon Tree Collective is a grassroots initiative that supports families that have been displaced, impoverished or made extremely vulnerable. We are currently focusing on families in Gaza, Palestine. The project was founded in 2024 by Helen Fares to evacuate sick children and pregnant women from Gaza and is currently working on three projects in Gaza, Egypt, and Syria, as evacuations have unfortunately been made impossible by the occupation forces.
Our main project is located in Gaza, where we are currently providing over 120 families who have been affected by poverty and hunger together with our partner organisations with access to food, medicine and tents. In Khan Younis, we run a school program for children.
In Egypt, we provide safe shelter and access to medical aid to over 25 displaced families from Gaza together with our partner organisations.
In Syria, over 200 families who have lost their livelihoods as a result of the war are regularly supplied with food packages by our partner organisation.
