A full-scale humanitarian crisis needs an unmatched scale of support. Here's how we are ramping up our efforts to ensure that donations will reach every orphan.
In partnership with Bank of Palestine Group, we have launched Noor’s Program to support 20,000 children orphaned by the war. Our target of 377 million dollars. to provide a comprehensive range of services that ensure these orphans can live with dignity, become active members of their communities, and build a better future for themselves.
We will be addressing several fronts from responding to immediate needs rising under the ongoing bombardment and aggression, to establishing a solid support system that the orphans can rely on until they reach the age of 18.
We have partnered with civil society organizations in Gaza that will help implement our various interventions, ensure direct access to the orphans and their families, as well as host activities in every locale. Meanwhile, our network of external experts will work alongside us to assess the program's needs, impact and progress.
This is our largest campaign for orphans to date. We count on every single contribution

Mohamed: A boy who lost everything,
but still found a reason to smile.
After losing his father and suffering severe injuries, Mohamed’s smile returned when he received new clothes. 'When I wore the new clothes, I felt like there’s someone out there who still cares,' he says.

Gaza's orphaned children are our collective responsibility.
Thousands of orphaned children in Gaza are left heartbroken and lost, too young to understand the pain of losing their parents.
Their families, their warmth, their security—taken away in an instant. This Ramadan, let’s not let them face the darkness alone. It is our duty, our choice, to be the light they need.
Help us deliver urgent relief and develop a sustainable support system for 20,000 orphans in Gaza.
Taawon Foundation is an independent, non-profit Palestinian organization founded in Geneva in 1983 as a development institution aimed at enhancing the capabilities of the Palestinian people, preserving their heritage and identity, and supporting their vibrant culture.

The foundation implements its programs and interventions in partnership with a network of Palestinian civil society organizations that meet eligibility and due diligence requirements.
