Salam Kitchen

Project completed in 2017


We will help those who help

The volunteers are out in the tent camps, handing out food, teaching children, giving the mothers health advice. For those who help to be obvious and able to provide help and humanity, it is necessary that they get rest and food themselves.

New kitchen: 15,000 NOK

What we are going to do is collect 15,000 NOK to put in place a kitchen that is possible to keep clean. A corner of the house has been converted into a kitchenette. It is temporary stuff, cramped, but most importantly - It is difficult to keep clean. There are about 20 volunteers living in the house, who will cook in the kitchenette. Some time ago, many in the house were knocked out by diarrhea and were bedridden - We have to fix that!

There are some people who just do it.

They see something that needs to be done and then they do something about it. They do not wait for someone to ask them to do something, they do not wait to get paid to do something, they pay for the trip, the food they eat, the bed they sleep in - themselves. They just do it.

Grasroot aid

A new type of aid organization has emerged. Grassroots initiatives started by people with initiative, guts and passion to just do something. They have no bureaucratic organization behind them and lack everything but the most important thing - passion. The organizations operate as startups - trial and error. They are agile. They test what works and what does not work, learn from it and change. A new way of doing relief work has been created.

We help the helpers to help

It is easy to collect money for stuffed animals and food - Everyone wants the money to go to those who are to be helped and not to administration. Helpers.no helps the helpers with specific projects. We contribute what we can for the helpers to help
