Scot Aid

About

Scot Aid is a humanitarian aid and development organisation founded in July 2020, dedicated to preventing and alleviating poverty. The charity pursues its objectives by providing essential support such as food, clean water, shelter, medical supplies and financial aid to vulnerable families both overseas and within Scotland. During 2024, humanitarian needs across the Middle East and North Africa remained critical. Scot Aid continued and expanded its relief programmes in Palestine, Yemen, and Lebanon. In Palestine, the Gaza Strip faced ongoing devastation due to conflict. Scot Aid prioritised emergency relief for displaced families, including food parcels, water aid, medical support and winter relief. In Yemen, the threat of famine persisted. Scot Aid expanded its Ramadan and Eid distribution projects. 2024 was a busy year for Scot Aid, with the charity also recruiting new employees and volunteers and establishing new strategic partnerships.
