Noor - Sponsor a child. Save Gaza’s future.

Thousands of children in Gaza are grappling with the agony and disbelief of losing a parent.

The warmth and care of those who matter the most, stolen. No child should be left alone to fend for themself.
It is our responsibility and choice to stand by them now.

We are calling for donations to help us provide immediate relief and a lasting support system for 20,000 children.

Make a direct impact by sponsoring an orphan today.

or choose your own amount, every contribution matters.

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
