Direct family support and community-led
humanitarian initiatives in Gaza
Our Projects
Family Support Networks
A Support Network is a group of people who directly help a family or community in Gaza and commit to steady monthly support. Even small donations make a real difference.
Together, they help cover basic needs: food, rent, medical care, and emergency situations on the ground.
In a world where we are often made to feel helpless, Support Networks offer a way to act. We may not have the power of governments, but we do have friends, communities, and the ability to organize care.
We invite you to join a Support Network for a family. Even small donations make a real difference:
Al Anwar Community
Al Anwar was established in March 2025 by displaced families from Rafah and Khan Younis. The community now includes approximately 200 families. When we first engaged with the community, it had very limited access to humanitarian infrastructure and was receiving little or no regular assistance from established organizations. The sanitation situation was especially severe: in many cases, five families were sharing one inadequate and unsafe facility. The camp was also far from water and food distribution points, as well as from medical and educational services, making it extremely difficult for residents to access basic support.
In close collaboration with the local camp committee, Gaza Support Network has worked to help Al Anwar move from a state of extreme vulnerability toward a more organized, community-led model of care and service delivery. We helped establish a community center that now functions as a service point for the camp and the surrounding area. This includes a medical point, mental health and psycho-social support programming for families and children, and an aid distribution hub.
We have also supported the camp’s logistical team in installing basic water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) infrastructure, including a water system and safer bathrooms throughout the camp.
Beyond direct infrastructure support, we also helped the camp committee cultivate relationships with additional organizations now serving the camp, including World Central Kitchen, Rozana, All Hands and Hearts, and Project HOPE.

Children of the Future School
In the Marat Women’s Displacement Camp in Nuseirat, central Gaza, four dedicated teachers came together with a simple but urgent vision: to create a safe space where children could learn, heal, play, and feel cared for again.
At the end of 2025, they opened Children of the Future School in a building that has miraculously remained standing after two years of war, destruction, and the near-total collapse of Gaza’s education system.
Today, the school serves more than 550 children ages 5–12 from displaced families, including 40 orphans and 20 children with special needs.
The educational team is led by Ola Mohsen, a widowed English teacher and action-learning specialist whose pedagogical expertise is matched by her deep commitment to the children and families around her. Together with her team of teachers – truly a team of angels – Ola is creating more than a school. She is building an oasis of care, dignity, and possibility.
During the school day, children receive basic education, creative and active learning, and psychological support. The program is designed especially for children who have lost two years of schooling because of the war, and who are carrying the emotional weight of displacement, fear, hunger, and loss.
Because the space is limited, the school operates in two daily shifts. Younger children, ages 5–8, attend one shift, and older children, ages 9–12, attend the other. The children are divided into cohorts, each attending school three days a week. Classes run from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
But this school is much more than a place of learning. It is a place where children can play together, express themselves freely, receive care, and, for a few hours each day, simply be children.
