The humanitarian crisis in Gaza continues to threaten the lives and futures of millions, particularly children. At SaveGaza.Charity, our mission is to alleviate suffering and help families survive—and ultimately thrive—despite ongoing instability. By drawing on best practices detailed by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), we work to ensure that every dollar you donate has an impact on people in need. Below is an overview of how we use your generous contributions:
1. Health and Nutrition Support
a. Life-Saving Vaccinations
Polio Immunization Campaigns: Children in Gaza were recently threatened by a polio outbreak, with the virus detected for the first time in decades. Despite challenges—including bombings, widespread displacement, and limited access—health teams managed to administer a large amount of polio vaccinations.
Vitamin A Supplementation: Alongside immunizations, we provide Vitamin A drops to bolster children’s immune systems as a critical boost in areas with poor nutritional intake.
b. Therapeutic and Preventative Care
Treatment for Malnutrition: With farmland devastated and food scarce, malnutrition has increased tenfold. We deliver therapeutic supplements and specialized infant formula to families with severely malnourished children, ensuring they receive the steady diet, clean water, and medical attention required for recovery.
Maternal Health: We support pregnant and breastfeeding women with essential micronutrients and guidance to reduce maternal mortality and improve infant survival rates.
c. Medical Equipment and Supplies
Neonatal and Pediatric Care: Hospitals in Gaza lack adequate ventilators, incubators, and medicines. We help bridge these gaps by providing critical medical supplies. Whether it’s respiratory support for a quadriplegic child or essential treatments for newborns, your donations power these life-saving interventions.
2. Emergency Relief and Cash Assistance
a. Rapid Response During Crises
Immediate Cash Distributions: When conflict escalates or new emergencies arise, families often lose their income overnight. We deploy emergency cash transfers so they can buy essentials—food, water, diapers, and medicine—tailored to their specific needs.
b. Supporting Vulnerable Groups
Targeted Top-Ups: Families with special needs—such as children with disabilities or those requiring chronic medical care—receive additional assistance to keep them afloat during protracted crises.
3. Education and Child Protection
a. Temporary Learning Spaces
Tent Classrooms: With many schools destroyed or used as communal shelters, we create safe, makeshift learning hubs. These spaces offer structured education in subjects like math, Arabic, English, and science, helping kids keep up academically and maintain a sense of normalcy.
School Kits and Learning Materials: Your donations fund essential supplies (notebooks, stationery, books) and support stipends for displaced teachers, allowing thousands of children to continue their education in a stable environment.
b. Psychosocial and Social Support
Counseling and Activities: Children displaced multiple times or exposed to violence benefit from mental health and psychosocial services provided on-site. Group activities and one-on-one counseling enable them to process trauma and build resilience.
4. Advocacy and Community Mobilization
a. Raising Awareness for Public Health Campaigns
Local Social Mobilizers: We partner with community volunteers, radio stations, and social media influencers to underscore the importance of vaccines, nutrition, and hygiene. These awareness efforts significantly increase participation in health campaigns.
b. Humanitarian Coordination
Collaborations: We coordinate with entities like the UNRWA and IRCS to align on best practices, share resources, and avoid duplication of efforts. Together, we expand our reach and respond to rapidly changing conditions.
5. Transparent Delivery and Monitoring
a. Distribution Chain Management
Cold Chain Maintenance: Vaccines and other temperature-sensitive supplies require specialized carriers and refrigeration. Your donations help us procure and distribute these tools, ensuring medications remain potent and safe.
Field Monitoring: Despite conflict-related constraints—destroyed roads, limited storage, and security risks—we continuously track shipments and verify that aid reaches the right people.
b. Accountability and Neutrality
Humanitarian Principles: Like other major humanitarian agencies, we uphold the principles of humanity, impartiality, neutrality, and independence. We don’t take sides in conflicts; instead, we ensure every vulnerable child and family is served based solely on need.
Preventing Diversion: Through on-the-ground monitoring and digital oversight, we strive to limit any misuse of humanitarian resources. This commitment ensures your donations go exactly where they’re intended.
