- As the conflict continues in Palestine, one TikTok user has come up with a clever way to raise money for the people of Gaza.
- She has created a Watermelon Filter and promised to donate all the money she makes through the rewards program to Gaza aid.
- On social media, the watermelon has become a sign of support for Palestine as it contains the same colors as the state’s flag.
The Watermelon Filter has already been used more than six million times and raised thousands of dollars.
Watermelon Filter takes over TikTok
The viral TikTok effect is called ‘Filter for Good’ and features three big watermelon slices which cover the screen.
To unlock the filter, you have to drag a piece of watermelon across the screen in a squiggle pattern and collect some seeds.
If you want to use it, open TikTok and click on the magnifying glass to bring up the search bar. Then, type ‘Filter for Good’.
The filter will appear right at the top under the ‘Effects’ heading. Tap the pink camera box to the right to have a go.
Effect raises money for people in Gaza
It was made by an AR creator called Jourdan who is donating all of the proceeds she makes to charities sending help to Gaza.
“I have decided to create this effect ‘Filter for Good’ and donate all of the rewards earned to charities that her providing aid in Gaza,” she said.
The 27-year-old will make money through TikTok’s Effect Creator Rewards program which gives monetary rewards to effect creators.
Watermelons have long been used as a symbol of Palestine as the fruit contains the same colors as the flag: Red, black, white, and green.
Now, the watermelon emoji has become a sign of support amid the conflict. The death toll in Gaza has sadly reached 11,000.
Watermelon Filter raises $11,000
The Watermelon Filter has been used more than six million times and already raised almost $11,000 for people in Gaza.
Jourdan is sharing daily update videos on TikTok which show how much money the effect has made so far.
She hasn’t received any funds to her bank account, so no donations have been made to charities sending aid to Gaza yet.
The TikTok user will decide where to donate the money when it becomes available to ensure the best needs are prioritised.
