WHAT WE DO
Gaza has become the deadliest place in the world to be a child. The Children's Village is a lifeline for Gaza's most vulnerable children, providing essential care, protection, and hope for the future.
OUR MISSION
The Children's Village in Gaza provides comprehensive care and protection to children affected by conflict. We're building a purpose-designed community where vulnerable children receive the support they need to heal, learn, and thrive despite challenging circumstances.
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 is that environment - a place where Gaza's children can find safety, healing, and hope.
BUILDING THE FUTURE
Help us create a sanctuary for 20,000 orphaned and vulnerable children in Gaza through integrated shelter, healthcare, education, and healing.

These spaces will provide a safe environment so children can play, laugh, and connect with each other.
