Story

We are going to be hosting an evening event with local Palestinian food, guest speakers, a raffle and an auction in the hopes of enhancing our community spirit, love and hope for the people affected in Gaza and the West Bank.

Further to this, on Friday 29th March, two local Swansea residents (Ryan Stephens and Jean-Louis Button) will be embarking on a 100 km journey around the Gower Peninsula whilst carrying 20 kg weights on their backs. This is to replicate the distance between the Jordan River (Nahr Al-Sharieat) and the Mediterranean Sea and also the weight our brothers and sisters have to carry with their lives on their backs.

The banquet meal will be hosted at the Volcano Theatre on Saturday 20th April (6 - 9pm) and will cost £10 p/p inclusive of food. Please secure your ticket here if you would like to join:

About the charity

Salam Charity

Verified by JustGiving

RCN 1142191
Salam Charity was founded in 2011 with the aim to help fight poverty and transform lives. Every night over 800 million people go hungry and nearly 6 million children die each year from preventable diseases. Salam Charity aims to tackle this by providing lifesaving meals, clean water, sanitation, clothing and education. This will allow everyone to realise their birthright of living a happy life by developing their full potential. Salam Charity works in many countries around the world with a particular emphasis on the Rohingya emergency crisis. Salam Charity has a five year strategic plan which will focus on bringing a positive and lasting change in the lives of those affected by poverty. Our aim is to empower people for them to be in charge of their own destinies. We endeavour to support households, local communities and national institutions to develop longer term collective approaches to reinforce their capacities to better respond to, mitigate and prevent humanitarian emergencies and hunger crises. Supported by global celebrities, entrepreneurs, philanthropists, and social media influencers, We have one important mission: to save and change lives for the better. We will do what it takes to bring humanity closer to a world free from hunger and poverty.
