Providing Winter Clothing for the Children of Gaza, One Bundle at a Time.


One Million Children in 'Unlivable' Gaza

UPDATE: Saturday, December 29, 2018: We will continue to raise funds until the end of our campaign on December 31, 2018. 

Make a difference and join us today to provide bundles of warm clothing to the children in Gaza this winter. The 3rd annual Winter Relief Drive aims to supply jackets, jeans, wool thermals, socks, and shoes to children between the ages of 4-14. Help us bring warmth to the children of Gaza and give them hope for future winters to come.  

Our donation tiers range from the Bronze Package ($25) which will support one child to our Diamond Package ($1000) which will provide winter clothes to 40 children. Any donation, big or small, will be greatly appreciated! 


Why?

The Gaza Strip, an area of 140 square miles is already densely populated with over 2 million inhabitants. The Israeli blockade, in effect since 2007, has led to insufferable conditions for the Palestinian people. Electricity is only available in rotated cycles of 2 hours/day. Over 20% of households have no access to gas. Access to basic human necessities like food and water are at a minimum. 

Over 70% of Palestinians in Gaza rely on humanitarian aid, and the most vulnerable are the children. The UN found in 2012 that if nothing were done to ease the blockade on Gaza, life there would become 'unlivable' by 2020. Support the Gaza Winter Relief Project with Zam Zam today! Please keep in mind that NO donation is too small.

Last Year's Fundraiser:

Last year our goal was to raise $15,000 or bundles for 600 children. Once we launched our campaign, our initiative overflowed with love, and the donations poured in. As our campaign ended, you helped us raise an astounding $67,000. We were able to provide nearly 2,700 Palestinian children with warm clothing, which helped them survive their chilling winter. 

That’s 2,700 smiles. 2,700 dreams. We thank you, 2,700 times.

4th Annual Gaza Winter Relief project begins today!

Marhaba Zam Zam Family, 

We are writing to you all today to announce Year 4 of our Gaza Winter Relief project! Last year, you helped us raised $91,410 with 1,255 donors serving 3,656 children

This project is designed to support the children of Gaza with winter clothing and a 1-year supply of Vitamin A. This project also support the local economy, as our clothing is manufactured in Gaza by Gazans. 

Not only does your contribution support the children but it also creates jobs. We pray that you answer the call once again this year to create a better quality of life for the children of Gaza.

Gaza Winter Relief - Zam Zam - PaliRoots - Update

12.21.18

Update Video: https://vimeo.com/307794175

Salaam and Happy Friday to all, 

Firstly, we would like to personally thank you for your generous contribution towards our 3rd annual Gaza Winter Relief Project. This year, we have made a concerted effort to serve children in all 8 of the refugee camps in Gaza, a feat that in past years has been very difficult to manage logistically. 

Secondly, we are proud to share with you all video and picture documentation of the bundling process of the clothing. These clothing items are all made in Gaza by the hands of Palestinians. Your donations are not only aiding the children, but you are also positively impacting local businesses and their employees by allowing them to support their families and the economy. 

Lastly, we have an honorable donor that has pledged to match $1 for $1 up to $20,000 if we reach our end goal of $70,000. We humbly ask all those interested to spread awareness of this project and the impact it will have. 

The hands that will help sew the dreams of the future of Palestine. 

Thank YOU for your generosity!

-Zam Zam & PaliRoots
