Children of Hope: Help 400 students graduate
Donation protected
I am one of the many Palestinians living in the diaspora in the US, who has been desperately trying to find a way to help people on the ground in Gaza. Through mutual friends, I was fortunate enough to get connected with a couple of wonderful people who are so passionate about education. They helped me understand that during times of war, education is just as important as food and water; that thousands of children are going into their second year of war and cannot just wander aimlessly, hungry and devastated, watching death and destruction all around. They reminded me that education is a symbol of much-needed hope at this time and is, in fact, critical for their mental well-being as well as a tool for survival.
Most of the schools in Gaza provide schooling for elementary and middle schools; however, this initiative aims to support 17-year-old students graduate. The hope is that one day, once Gaza is rebuilt, they will be able to continue their education and fulfill their dreams. During the war, we were able to put 131 students successfully through their final exams at high school - the picture attached is the school that we built. This was a great start, but we are looking for your help to continue to offer this wonderful opportunity of hope to 400 more students.
Any help you can provide would be invaluable and so very much appreciated. Money raised will be used to purchase tents, chairs, tables, school books and teacher salaries. Funds will be collected here and transferred to the intended recipients through my personal bank account.
