To address the urgent humanitarian needs of women in Gaza, Women for Women International is working with Wefaq Society for Women and Child Care, a local women’s organization in Palestine that has managed to remain operational, even in this deadly and unstable environment.  Together we are providing:

- Hot meals from community kitchen 
- Winter clothes and shoes 
- Blankets and mattresses 
- Hygiene kits, and other essential items like menstrual supplies, milk, diapers for babies, and food vouchers
- Hotlines for trauma informed counseling

Since 1996, Wefaq has been serving women, children, and youth survivors of violence with psychological, fiscal, legal, and health assistance. When the war began, they shifted to emergency humanitarian response for displaced families from east of the Rafah Governorate and the northern Gaza Strip to the shelters in southern Gaza Strip.

Since 1993, Women for Women International has been working to transform the lives of women in war-torn countries. We work with the most marginalized women in the most difficult places. And we stay for the long term — helping to create access and opportunity. Within two years, our graduates report a five-fold increase in daily income. At enrollment, women earn an average of 41 cents a day—compared to $1.98 two years after graduation.

We know that when we invest in women survivors of war, they create more peaceful households, communities, and societies—building bridges across what at the outset might appear to be impossible divides.  

Invest in a woman today. And together, we can make a change.
