Bound Through Bandages: Medical Kits for Gaza & Beyond

My name is Rabaina Kaur. I’m 16 years old and a rising junior in high school, based in the United States. I’m launching a youth-led project to help people in places like Gaza, Palestine, Ukraine, Somalia, Sudan, and the Democratic Republic of Congo who are living through war, famine, or crisis. I am not connected to any government, army, or political group. I’m raising money to send basic medical kits to people who need them most. These kits will include bandages, gloves, fever medicine, antiseptic wipes, and other simple supplies that can help treat wounds, stop infections, or bring comfort to someone in pain. Once I raise $5,000, I will begin partnering with trusted humanitarian organizations like MedGlobal, Medical Aid for Palestinians, Project C.U.R.E., or similar groups that can help deliver the kits safely. Every dollar raised will go directly toward buying supplies and getting them delivered through official nonprofit channels. None of the funds will go toward anything related to conflict or violence. When I reach $10,000, I plan to officially register this as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and expand the project to include menstrual care kits as well. A basic medical kit can stop an infection, reduce suffering, and give someone a real fighting chance. Together, we can make the world just a little less painful for someone else.
