THEIR FIRST YEARS MATTER FOR A LIFETIME

A baby’s first years are filled with change. Their bodies are growing, their brains are developing and the nourishment they receive now helps build the foundations for everything that comes next. But in Gaza, parents are trying to protect that growth through years of conflict, displacement and shortages. Mothers who are breastfeeding may be doing so while struggling with their own access to adequate nutrition, while families who depend on baby milk can face the fear of watching a tin run low without knowing when or where they will find another. A baby doesn’t understand shortages or closed crossings. They only know when they are hungry, and a parent knows the sound of that hunger better than anyone. Giving Hands is sourcing and distributing baby milk directly to families with infants across Gaza, helping parents provide the nourishment their babies need at a time when every feed matters. Help a parent answer their baby’s hunger. Donate now.

WE WILL ALWAYS FIND A WAY TO REACH THEM

Getting baby milk into Gaza is only part of the job. It then needs to reach the mothers and fathers whose babies depend on it, including families living through displacement and communities where access to basic essentials can change without warning. This is where years of working inside Gaza matter. Giving Hands has established local teams, warehouses, supply networks and relationships that allow us to respond from within the communities themselves, sourcing essential supplies when they become available and moving them directly to families. Throughout this crisis, we have already placed tens of thousands of tins of baby milk into the hands of parents across Gaza, alongside the food, water and emergency assistance families need to survive. We have seen what that moment means to a mother who has been worrying about the next feed, because what we are handing her may look like a tin of milk, but to her it means her baby can eat. Your Zakat and Sadaqah can help us reach eligible families with this essential support, and through our 100% Donation Policy, every dollar donated to this appeal goes towards delivering aid to people who need it. The Prophet ﷺ taught us that Allah loves those who show mercy to others, and today that mercy can reach a baby through something as simple and necessary as milk. Help us put another tin into a parent’s hands and milk into a baby’s bottle.
