Sponsor a Family in Gaza

Give a displaced family the steady support they need to move from surviving to rebuilding.

When crisis strikes, it strikes whole families — a parent without work, children out of school, an elderly relative who needs medicine, all depending on one another to get through each day. Sponsoring a family means standing with all of them at once, through the long road back to stability.

Your regular support funds a coordinated package of care delivered by a local case worker who gets to know the family: immediate essentials, healthcare access, school enrolment for the children, and where possible a livelihood grant to restore the family's own income.

Family sponsorship is about more than relief. It is about giving a displaced Palestinian family the time, dignity and steady footing they need to rebuild their lives on their own terms.

Why sponsor a whole family

Helping one member of a struggling family rarely solves the problem — the pressures are shared and interconnected. Supporting the whole family means food on the table, children in school and a parent able to work again, all reinforcing one another.

A sponsored family is supported as a unit, with care coordinated so that no member is left behind.

What family sponsorship provides

Your sponsorship wraps a family in the practical support they need across every part of their lives.

  • Food, clean water and household essentials
  • A local case worker coordinating ongoing support
  • Healthcare access and referrals
  • School enrolment and learning support for children
  • Livelihood grants to restore the family's income

The path to independence

The aim of family sponsorship is not permanent dependence but a return to self-reliance. By combining immediate relief with livelihood support, we help families rebuild their own earning power in an economy where jobs have vanished.

Stability is built slowly, family by family. Your steady support is what makes that patient work possible.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between sponsoring a child and a family?
Child sponsorship focuses on the comprehensive needs of one child, while family sponsorship supports an entire household — parents and children together — including livelihood support to help the family regain its own income. Both are ongoing, coordinated by local workers.
How does a family become independent again?
Alongside immediate relief, we provide livelihood grants — the tools of a trade, stock for a stall, or equipment such as a sewing machine — so the family can rebuild its own earning power and gradually move off support with dignity.
Who coordinates the support for each family?
A local case worker on the ground in Gaza gets to know each sponsored family, assesses their needs, and coordinates food, healthcare, schooling and livelihood support over time, ensuring help is joined-up and reaches everyone in the household.
