Why we are doing this

Behind every number is a child who wants to learn.

Every child deserves to learn, create, grow and have fun. But not every child has the same chances. These are the facts, from the organisations that count them.

1.1 millionchildren live in Gaza

Gaza

A girl who was seven when the war began is ten now, and has not had one full year of school since.

Almost every school in Gaza has been destroyed or badly damaged, and six in ten school-aged children have no in-person learning at all. More than 64,000 children have been killed or injured, and more than 56,000 have lost one or both parents.

What they need

  • Clean water. Up to seven in ten families cannot collect the emergency minimum of six litres per person a day for drinking and cooking.
  • A place to learn. 658,000 school-aged children, and almost no working schools.
  • Care in the early years. 335,000 children under five are at risk of severe developmental delays because early childhood services have collapsed.
  • Real food. One in eight children is stunted by chronic malnutrition. They need diverse, nutritious food, not just calories.

5,000children forced from their homes every day

Sudan

In Sudan, 5,000 children lose their home every day. That is one child every 17 seconds.

It is the largest child displacement crisis in the world: more than five million children have been forced from their homes. Nearly half of all school buildings no longer function, so at least eight million children are out of school. In 2026, about 17 million children will need urgent humanitarian help.

What they need

  • Treatment for hunger. In North Darfur, one child was treated for severe acute malnutrition every six minutes last year.
  • A school. At least eight million children have none to go to.
  • Safe water and vaccines. 3.4 million children under five are at risk from disease outbreaks.
  • Protection and care after violence and displacement.

What a child needs to learn is not expensive.

Clean water and a meal. A safe place to sit. A teacher. A book and a pencil. Someone who believes in them. For millions of children, all of it is missing. Your donation this month goes to children in need, and it is not about how much you give. It is about the willingness to give.

One dirham can make a difference.

What may feel small to you can mean so much to someone else.
