A drop in the ocean, we tell ourselves. "What can I possibly do...? I'm just a drop in the ocean." Mohammed is a drop. Like me. And Dina, and Anat, and Wejdan, Shahed, Neta, Alice, Ibrahim and Philip. Drop after drop, and look what becomes, an ocean. This is not just an inspiring idea. This is the truth. We are connected. How long are we going to live as if we’re not?

About

Gaza Support Network is a platform allowing people to live out of responsibly and respond to the love that lives and speaks within them amid the destruction and death taking place in Gaza. Rooted in direct personal connections, we created a humanitarian model which provides different scales of agile and tailored support. By inviting people of all walks of life to think creatively and collaborate with people in Gaza, we bridge the gap between global solidarity and immediate needs on the ground. There are two main channels of work: Support networks for families in Gaza, which also include small community initiatives that grow out of the direct connection with individuals and families, and large community projects, currently the Al-Anwar displaced-persons camp and the Children’s Future School. Initiated in May 2025, Gaza Support Network was incorporated as a non-profit in Canada in September 2025. It is led by a management team of nine, mostly women. The entire network is composed of over 1000 supporters from all over the world. Our impact and the work that we do comes from the ground, out of conversations and collaboration with people in Gaza.

Our Projects

family-support-networks

Family Support Networks 

A Support Network is a group of people who directly help a family or community in Gaza and commit to steady monthly support. Even small donations make a real difference.

 

Together, they help cover basic needs: food, rent, medicine, medical care, and emergency situations on the ground.

 

In a world where we are often made to feel helpless, Support Networks offer a way to act. We may not have the power of governments, but we do have friends, communities, and the ability to organize care.

Join a Support Network for a family. Even small donations make a real difference.

Al Anwar Community 

al-anwar-community

Al Anwar was established in March 2025 by displaced families from Rafah and Khan Younis. The community now includes approximately 200 families. When we first engaged with the community, it had very limited access to humanitarian infrastructure and was receiving little or no regular assistance from established organizations. The sanitation situation was especially severe: in many cases, five families were sharing one inadequate and unsafe facility. The camp was also far from water and food distribution points, as well as from medical and educational services, making it extremely difficult for residents to access basic support.

In close collaboration with the local camp committee, Gaza Support Network has worked to help Al Anwar move from a state of extreme vulnerability toward a more organized, community-led model of care and service delivery. We helped establish a community center that now functions as a service point for the camp and the surrounding area. This includes a medical point, mental health and psycho-social support programming for families and children, and an aid distribution hub.

We have also supported the camp’s logistical team in installing basic water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) infrastructure, including a water system and safer bathrooms throughout the camp.

 

Beyond direct infrastructure support, we also helped the camp committee cultivate relationships with additional organizations now serving the camp, including World Central Kitchen, Rozana, All Hands and Hearts, and Project HOPE.

Children of the Future School

In the Marat Women’s Displacement Camp in Nuseirat, central Gaza, four dedicated teachers came together with a simple but urgent vision: to create a safe space where children could learn, heal, play, and feel cared for again. At the end of 2025, they opened Children of the Future School in a building that has miraculously remained standing after two years of war, destruction, and the near-total collapse of Gaza’s education system. Today, the school serves more than 550 children ages 5–12 from displaced families, including 40 orphans and 20 children with special needs. The educational team is led by Ola Mohsen, a widowed English teacher and action-learning specialist whose pedagogical expertise is matched by her deep commitment to the children and families around her. Together with her team of teachers – truly a team of angels – Ola is creating more than a school. She is building an oasis of care, dignity, and possibility. During the school day, children receive basic education, creative and active learning, and psychological support. The program is designed especially for children who have lost two years of schooling because of the war, and who are carrying the emotional weight of displacement, fear, hunger, and loss. Because the space is limited, the school operates in two daily shifts. Younger children, ages 5–8, attend one shift, and older children, ages 9–12, attend the other. The children are divided into cohorts, each attending school three days a week. Classes run from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. But this school is much more than a place of learning. It is a place where children can play together, express themselves freely, receive care, and, for a few hours each day, simply be children.
