The foundation of Haya Washington

Founded in 2017 as an independent and objective media organization that focuses on credibility, Haya Washington began with a mission to amplify Arab voices and empower women in journalism, media,and entrepreneurship.Over time, and especially amid the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, we felt a moral responsibility to expand our mission beyond storytelling to direct action and relief. Today, Haya Washington is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN: 88-4044992) based in Washington, D.C. Our team on the ground in Gaza consists of a specialized media team that volunteers to deliver food, water, shelter, and hope to displaced families. With plans to expand our humanitarian programs across the region, Haya Washington is working diligently to ensure our promise to provide aid is fulfilled no matter the circumstances.
