Our mission

Our Mission

What happened?

On October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorists attacked villages in the south of Israel and abducted over two hundred men, women, and children, dragging them from their homes and tearing them out of the arms of their loved ones.

Who was kidnapped?

Parents and grandparents, children, spouses, siblings and friends are missing and their  families and friends fear for their safety. Hamas has not revealed the identities, locations or medical condition of those they are holding. Many need life-saving medications. The kidnapped are mostly women. They include the elderly, disabled and even babies. Amongst those missing and presumed abducted are nationals of the US, Germany, Britain, Mexico, Brazil, Nepal, and Thailand.

What are we doing?

Bring Our People Home is launching separate campaigns for each of the abductees, building on whatever connections we can make to good people worldwide who can press for their release.

How are donations used?

All donations are used directly to raise awareness of the kidnapped individuals and to support them and their families. Our organization is a non-profit and all donations are tax exempt in the US and Israel.
