Sumud Project 🍉

Initiative #35 — Day 10 Final Day of the Sumud Project Ramadan Community Kitchen 🙌🏼 Today marks the completion of ten consecutive days of the Sumud Project Ramadan Community Kitchen, a project built with patience and dedication that served 500 families during this program. Every day, fresh meals were carefully prepared and distributed before sunset so that displaced families could break their fast with dignity. Behind every meal was long hours of work — cooking, organizing, packaging, transporting, and delivering food across difficult conditions. This initiative was not simply about providing food. It was about standing beside our community, sharing Ramadan together, and reminding families that they are not forgotten. To Mr. Jim Chambers @jccfergie13 - who believed in this mission — this achievement belongs to you. We thank you for your endless support and your kindness. Ten days. 500 meals. #SumudProject #Gaza #Palestine

Meet Ammar — the Founder and Sole Operator of The Sumud Project. From the heart of Gaza, Ammar leads this entire project on his own with integrity, and an unwavering commitment to his community. What began as a simple act of support has grown into a continuous humanitarian initiative serving families in tent camps with respect and quality thanks to our generous international donors. Every distribution, every meal, every initiative is built on one principle: steadfastness (Sumud). 🇵🇸 #TheSumudProject #Gaza #Sumud #HumanitarianWork #Palestine

Zwischen Zelten, Hunger und Vertreibung entsteht in Gaza ein Ort, an dem Kinder wieder lachen können. „Bayt Al Sumud“ zeigt, dass selbst unter unmenschlichen Bedingungen Menschlichkeit möglich bleibt. Kinder brauchen mehr als bloßes Überleben. Sie brauchen Sicherheit, Aufmerksamkeit, Spiel, Wärme — sie brauchen Kindheit. Ammar und sein Team schaffen genau das: mitten im Genozid. Wenn ihr ihre Arbeit unterstützen oder sichtbar machen möchtet: 📍 @sumud_project1 https://beacons.ai/sumud_project Between tents, hunger, and displacement in Gaza, a place is being created where children can laugh again. “Bayt Al Sumud” shows that even under inhumane conditions, humanity can survive. Children need more than mere survival. They need safety, attention, play, warmth — they need childhood. Ammar and his team are creating exactly that: in the middle of a genocide.

Sumud Project Initiative #46 — Emergency Tarp Distribution for Displaced Families ⛺️🇵🇸 The Sumud Project distributed protective tarps to 40 displaced families in Al Mawasi, Khan Younis and the surrounding Asdaa area of Gaza to help provide safer and more adequate shelter coverage for tents amid extremely difficult living conditions. Tarps remain one of the most urgent needs among displaced families, helping protect against harsh weather, sun exposure, and deteriorating tent conditions.☀️⛈️ This initiative was made possible through the compassionate and generous support of: @nidal.seattle , @super_uw , @path_of_tahrir , and attendees of the Palestinian Cultural Resistance Festival 2026. 🤲🏼 Your solidarity, care, and commitment to standing with Gaza directly helped vulnerable families improve and protect their shelters during an incredibly difficult time. We are deeply grateful for your support and belief in grassroots mutual aid. Thank you for continuing to stand on the right side of humanity and helping us deliver direct assistance to displaced familiesin Gaza. #gaza #palestine #explor freepalestine

SUMUD: The Quiet Strength of STEADFASTNESS Artwork by @stefanie.reinhart.kunst 2026 In Palestinian culture, SUMUD—steadfastness—is more than a word. It is a way of being, a deep-rooted commitment to remain, endure, and hold on to dignity in the face of displacement, الاحتلال (occupation), and ongoing war. As May 15 approaches, marking the memory of the Nakba, SUMUD becomes even more present—woven into remembrance, grief, and resistance. SUMUD is not loud. It does not seek recognition. It lives in everyday acts: in families who rebuild, in artists who continue to create, in children who laugh despite everything. It is the refusal to disappear. This year, I have painted many works inspired by SUMUD—and there will be more. Because this concept speaks to something we rarely name in the West: a collective resilience that is not about victory or power, but about presence. About staying human under inhuman conditions. Recently, I came across a project on Instagram that embodies SUMUD in a deeply moving way. A young man in Gaza, Ammar Alqahwaji, has started what he calls The SUMUD Project. Despite being displaced himself and living in a tent camp, Ammar dreams of building a House of SUMUD in Gaza—a space of hope, resilience, and community. Think about that for a moment: to dream, to build, to create—while everything around you is uncertain. That is SUMUD in one of its most beautiful forms. If you can, support his project. Like and share his work. Small actions matter. @sumud_project1 @mothersagainstgenocide @drop4gaza @each.child.a.light Because SUMUD is not only about survival. It is about insisting on life. «Steadfastness, that is holding on; patience, that is holding back; expectancy, that is holding the face up; obedience, that is holding one’s self in readiness to go or do.» — S.D. Gordon #nosilenceinmyartforgaza #solidarityart #sumud #steadfastness #humanity

Families in Gaza are struggling to access even basic food. Last Monday, through The Sumud Project, we distributed emergency food support to displaced families in Al Mawasi, Gaza. These are not statistics. These are real families trying to survive. Every donation helps us continue delivering urgent aid on the ground. Please support or share. 🇵🇸 📍 Al Mawasi – Gaza @sumud_project1 #Gaza #Palestine #HumanitarianAid #FoodSupport #gazarelief

Initiative #44 — Supporting 20 Displaced Families with Fresh Chicken 🤍🐓 Alhamdulilah, thanks to the generous support of UAlbany SJP @ualbanysjp , Sumud Project distributed a total of 32 kilograms of chicken to 20 displaced families in the displacement camps of Al Mawasi in Gaza, helping provide them with a nutritious meal during extremely difficult conditions. Each family received their share with care and dignity, ensuring that this support reaches those who need it most. In a time where access to meat is limited and unstable, these distributions make a meaningful difference. We remain committed to standing with displaced families and continuing our work, one initiative at a time. 🤍 Thank you to the generous students at Albany #gaza #palestine #freepalesti̇ne #sumud

Its beautiful what community can do 💓 We here at SJP appreciate everyone who has made our annual third Souq Al Sumud possible. Whether you stopped by, contributed to vending or shared our moments, we want to sincerely thank you all for materially supporting a cause that is bigger than all of us🫂 Alhamdulilah, we have raised a total of $1,272.50 and split the funds between the Dina Mahmoud Family & Sumud Project. Every single moment counts and we are more than grateful to share these beautiful moments.

Together, we can build a House of Hope for the children of Gaza. ⚽🤍 After years of devastation, children in Gaza have been left with almost no safe spaces to play, feel secure, or simply be children. Ammar AlQahwaji — founder of The Sumud Project — has led up to this point 43+ on-the-ground initiatives supporting displaced families. Now, we’re taking the next step: ✨ Creating a dedicated children’s recreation center in Gaza - The House of Sumud. ✨ A safe space for play, healing, and joy ✨ A place where childhood can be reclaimed This is more than a project — it’s a lifeline for hundreds of children and we require the joint effort of donors globally to make this House of Sumud a reality. 🔗Donate through the link in our bio 🔄Share this post with your network #gaza #palestine #sumudflotilla #sumud #freepalestine
