Current Fundraising Efforts
Ramadan Iftar & Eid Celebration Initiative - Gaza City
Ramadan Date: Evening of Tue, Feb 17, 2026 – Thu, Mar 19, 2026
​
We are launching an initiative to provide 30 days of hot, daily iftar meals to the most vulnerable. Together, we can offer nourishment, restore dignity, and foster hope through community support this Ramadan.
In Gaza, ongoing conflict and displacement have created a severe humanitarian emergency. Families struggle without food, income, or basic services, having lost everything.
This Ramadan, the crisis deepens. Millions are fasting, but countless families, including the displaced, elderly, and female headed households have nothing for iftar. For them, humanitarian aid is a lifeline.
Please read the concept note drafted by our contacts in Gaza.
