Facing an Unmatched Crisis: Our Commitment to Every Orphan
In partnership with Bank of Palestine Group, we’ve launched Noor’s Program, aiming to support 20,000 children orphaned by the war. Our goal is to raise \$377 million to provide a comprehensive range of services, ensuring these orphans live with dignity, become active members of their communities, and build a better future for themselves.
Our response addresses multiple fronts, from addressing immediate needs to establishing a lasting support system that orphans can rely on until they turn 18.
We are collaborating with civil society organizations in Gaza to implement various interventions, ensuring direct access to orphans and their families, and organizing activities in every locality. Simultaneously, our network of external experts will assess the program’s needs, impact, and progress.
This is our largest campaign for orphans to date, and we rely on every single contribution to make it a success.
