How we work

How We Get the Aid

Here is how MAAN Together works to deliver humanitarian assistance to communities in need. In Gaza, we work through trusted local teams and available supply routes to deliver food directly to families.

Our Appeals

IDENTIFYING THE NEEDS

Starting With Humanitarian Need

Based on Need

We base all support strictly on humanitarian need, verified by local partners and field assessments.

Understanding Each Community

In Bangladesh, we work in partnership with local teams who understand the needs of each community.

WORKING WITH LOCAL TEAMS

Local Teams on the Ground

In Gaza, MAAN Together works with trusted local team members who live there. They know the area well and can deliver food and water quickly and safely, even in dangerous conditions.

In Bangladesh, our water well work is carried out in partnership with local teams.

How Supplies Are Sourced

This varies by country and project. The examples below apply only to the country shown.

Gaza

Available Supply Routes

Food is brought in through supply routes when they are open. When allowed, we use crossings such as Rafah and Kerem Shalom with the help of charities, coordinating with food suppliers and international aid channels.

Gaza

Pre-Stocked Supplies

Before the crisis worsened and borders closed, some local traders stored extra food in Gaza. These supplies are limited and expensive, and have been used to support people in need.
