Building a safe home and providing comprehensive support for orphans in Gaza
Following the war in 2023, 40,000 children in Gaza lost their fathers, and in some cases both parents, and now find themselves without protection or stable role models.
In response to this humanitarian emergency, the Humanitarian Relief Foundation is leading a major project: the creation of an integrated protection and education center for 400 orphans aged 3 to 10.
Project objective
To provide a safe home and comprehensive support that promotes the protection, well-being, and development of children, in order to enable them to rebuild their lives and build a more stable and dignified future ( ).
Area of intervention
The project will be implemented in the Gaza Strip, as close as possible to the communities most affected by the conflict, where orphans are exposed to major risks of marginalization, lasting trauma, and deprivation of fundamental rights.
An educational and protective center
The center will include:
- Four kindergarten classrooms and eight primary school classrooms.
- An activity room and a library.
- A medical clinic and a psychological support room.
- A kitchen and dining hall to provide adequate daily nutrition.
- A teachers’ room, an administrative office, and storage spaces.
- Full sanitary facilities.
- An inner courtyard with a garden and a secure playground.
Overall project budget
The total cost of the project is CHF 250,000, broken down as follows:
- Construction work: CHF 150,000
- Sanitary facilities: CHF 10,000
- Electrical work and lighting: CHF 6,000
- Solar energy system: CHF 20,000
- Furniture and interior design: CHF 40,000
- Educational and medical equipment: CHF 15,000

This center is much more than just a building: it is a place of protection, education, and hope for 400 orphaned children in Gaza.
