Gaza Child Sponsorship 2025: First payments bring hope and smiles

Our field team in Gaza successfully completed the first sponsorship payment distribution for 2025, ensuring that sponsored children received their financial support safely and with dignity. Despite immense logistical challenges and the ongoing large-scale displacement of our registered beneficiaries, we reached dozens of the children under our care.

Financial payments under our Child Sponsorship programme were delayed this year, with much of our efforts going towards distributing what little food and medical aid we could source from within Gaza.

Following the distribution, we hosted small activities designed to bring moments of joy and normality. The children took part in games, face painting, and group activities – a rare opportunity to smile and play amid the hardship. These gatherings remind us that every child deserves safety, care, and a chance to dream.

At a time when over half of Gaza’s children are displaced and struggling to access education, your sponsorship provides a vital sense of stability. It covers their most urgent needs and helps them hold on to hope for a brighter future.

Scroll down to see the glimpses of joy, made possible through your ongoing generosity.
