Climbing Kilimanjaro for Gaza’s Orphaned Children

October 15–25, 2026 · Mount Kilimanjaro

We climb so Gaza’s orphaned children can rise.

A team of climbers, creators, and community leaders is taking on Mount Kilimanjaro to raise vital support for Gaza’s orphaned children through NOOR — a long-term care program supporting children with protection, education, health, psychosocial care, and a pathway toward a secure future.

Why we climb

This is more than a summit.

Every step represents a child whose life has been disrupted by loss, displacement, and uncertainty. NOOR is designed around long-term care, not a one-time intervention. It stays with each child through the years when protection, stability, education, health, and emotional support matter most.

Education Learning access, school continuity, and future pathways.
Protection Safe, consistent care for children facing vulnerability.
Health Essential medical support and ongoing health follow-up.
Psychosocial care Support that helps children heal, adapt, and rebuild trust.

The challenge

Kilimanjaro for NOOR
