SF agreed to donate £4,000 to the Gaza Crisis Fund set up by Yalla, a transnational worker co-op based in Palestine. During the emergency and invasion, the co-op's focus shifted from delivering projects to supporting worker members surviving in refuge, and helping rebuild their lives when the war ends.
Yalla Cooperative is a web design and development agency founded and owned by members in Gaza, the UK, and the EU. In 2018, Joe Friel in the UK, Simon Dupree in Germany, and Ramy Al Shurafa in Gaza came together after completing tech bootcamps at Founders and Coders and Gaza Sky Geeks, two organisations championing technology for social impact and cross-border collaboration. They chose the name Yalla, meaning “Let’s get going” in Arabic, to express their shared drive to make a difference.
