Australian Foundation For Palestinian Children Inc.

This year has been the most arduous since Olive Kids was established. The war in Gaza has resulted in the loss of countless lives, including 8 of our sponsored children, and caused many challenges for our partners on the ground. Despite the immense loss, destruction, and moments of despair, we remain deeply committed to improving the lives of Palestinian children, and have continued to deliver programs in Gaza to support children and their families throughout the war. Our Child Sponsorship Program has continued to operate throughout the year, providing a financial lifeline to 391 children and hope for a better future. Our main focus for the year has been the Emergency Appeal for Gaza, which has provided support to displaced families through various projects targeting critical needs, and other projects such as our annual Give a Gift campaign that provided clothing, gifts, and activities and psychological support for children orphaned in the war. Through these targeted programs delivered by our partners in Gaza, sometimes through very challenging and dangerous conditions, we have attempted to support the children in Gaza through these unfathomable conditions and will continue our efforts throughout.
