"*" indicates required fields
39,000+ children in Gaza have lost one or both parents. 17,000 have lost both. These children need us now — and the next step is healing their trauma.
Children in Gaza have lost one or both parents since October 2023
Children have lost both parents — left completely alone without any family support or care
Children face severe malnutrition and risk of famine — their survival depends on urgent intervention
The UN has confirmed Gaza is facing the largest orphan crisis in modern history. Children are living in torn tents and destroyed homes with almost no social care or psychological support.
We need to collectively help heal these children from trauma — through food, safety, play, and the dignity every child deserves. This isn’t just about survival. It’s about giving them their childhood back.

Yes. When we say 100%, we mean that 100% of donations are applied to programme-related work that benefits children, and not to general office running costs or organisational overheads.
Your donation is used to deliver, sustain, and grow programmes that help children — not to fund the day-to-day running of the organisation.

Our essential running costs are covered separately through:

• Sponsorships
• Capacity-building grants
• Donations specifically given to support running costs
This separation allows us to be transparent and protect the integrity of our 100% donation policy.
