About
The Family Support Mission (FSM), led by Collective Action for the Diaspora (CAD), is an urgent response to an often-overlooked crisis: the welfare of families supporting Gaza’s humanitarian heroes. Aid workers, medical professionals, and journalists sacrifice their well-being daily to serve communities, often leaving their own families vulnerable. This mission directly addresses the on-going needs of over 100 families, ensuring they remain resilient and supported during unprecedented challenges.
The Critical Need
- Food Insecurity: Over 90% of Gaza’s population now faces famine-like conditions, including the families of aid workers who forgo economic stability to serve others.
- Psychological Strain: Separation, insecurity, and the stress of survival impact children and adults in these households.
- Resource Scarcity: Basic necessities like food, hygiene supplies, and water are inaccessible to many.
Program Highlights
- Life-Sustaining Aid:
- 18,000 meals distributed over four months, addressing malnutrition for over 100 families.
- Monthly support packages include grains, proteins, vegetables, hygiene products, and clean water.
- Emergency Support:
- Assistance with medical needs, shelter, and transportation for critical relief efforts.
- Stabilizing family units to preserve their dignity and mental health.
- Children’s Support:
- Resources and psychological aid for 450+ children, helping them overcome trauma and continue learning.
Expected Impact
- Reducing Hunger: Over 500 individuals supported monthly, mitigating long-term health risks.
- Strengthening the Humanitarian Network: By sustaining aid workers’ families, FSM ensures essential services remain uninterrupted.
- Community Resilience: Families receiving aid report 46% reduced stress, fostering hope and stability in devastated communities.
Innovative Approach

- Direct Delivery: Aid is distributed through efficient networks, ensuring timeliness and security.
Budget and Resource Utilization
- Basic Monthly Support Packages: $700 per family for food, water, and hygiene supplies.
