HOME and Healing for Gaza’s Children
In Gaza: A Childhood in Crisis
In Gaza, over one million children live amidst crisis. Thousands of children suffer from amputations, burns, brain injuries, and lack of access to adequate healthcare. Malnutrition also poses a great risk, with more than 300,000 children needing micronutrient supplements and treatment for acute malnutrition. With poverty on the rise and education interrupted, children need a safe environment to heal and thrive.
The Children's Village: A Lifeline for Gaza's Children
The Children’s Village in Gaza is a humanitarian project dedicated to supporting orphans, unaccompanied children, and those with complex medical needs. It will provide a nurturing environment for over 20,000 children through three development phases:
-
Housing for 1,000 children
-
Expansion to accommodate an additional 5,000 children
-
Completion of facilities to host 20,000+ children
Key components of the village include:
-
Housing: Safe and supportive homes for children with diverse needs
-
Education: A comprehensive school system from pre-K through 12th grade, vocational training, and psychotherapy
-
Psychosocial Support: Assistance to help children cope with trauma and displacement
-
Healthcare: A dedicated children’s field hospital, the first of its kind in Gaza
Staffed by pediatric specialists and surgeons, the village will offer services to children within the community and surrounding areas. Beyond meeting basic needs, this initiative will allow children to heal, grow, and prepare for a brighter future in a safe environment.
The Children’s Village is not just a solution to a humanitarian crisis—it is a lifeline for Gaza’s most vulnerable children. Together, we can make it happen.
