Once again, the people of Palestine are facing violence, danger, and great hardship as their human rights continue to be violated. With more than 1000 Palestinians injured since the violent outbursts in the West Bank, Gaza, and Jerusalem over the course of a few days, the need for urgent support is greater than ever.
Donate today to provide essential medical support to those in Palestine.
By supporting this cause, you will create safer and more affordable school environments, unaffected by Gaza’s persistent power cuts. Many of these schools also serve as emergency shelters, and you will be providing safe drinking water to those seeking shelter.

Girls are twice as likely to drop out of school due to a crisis like COVID-19, and less likely to return once it has passed. The longer a girl is out of school, the less likely she is to ever return. Your support could be the difference for a girl between staying in school and dropping out.
