Clean Shelter is a grassroots organization registered in Germany that delivers immediate relief to displaced communities in Gaza through essential sanitation and shelter solutions.
Founded by Seba Abudaqa, a Palestinian from Gaza living between Berlin and Cairo, and Tom Kellner, an Israeli based in Berlin, the organization focuses on concrete action on the ground, providing shelter, sanitation, and water. Since January 2024, Clean Shelter has established multiple IDP camps, installed water desalination units and constructed water infrastructure, and provided aid to more than 150,000 displaced people across Gaza.
In this event, Seba Abudaqa and Tom Kellner will talk about the founding of Clean Shelter, their daily work in a highly complex reality, the significance of Palestinian-Israeli cooperation in the context, and about challenges and possibilities for civil society action "beyond borders". The conversation will be moderated by Vered Berman
The event will be held in English.
