After an incredibly successful Day for Gaza where we raised over 10k, we are now running our Night For Gaza! Thank you so much to everyone who has donated!

Join us for a powerful evening of solidarity and support as we come together to stand with Gaza on Thursday February 15th!

About the project

The Gaza Women's Yoga and Circus Hub, combines an empowering and holistic approach to health, fitness and wellbeing together with the opportunity to learn a range of exciting and enjoyable new skills in a cooperative and safe social and physical environment.

The Hub, which was established by Aisha association for women and children in Gaza, along with Irish yoga and circus trainers and the Italian NGO CISS, is a space where women and girls can build relationships, trust and a sense of a supportive community, without barriers of age, ability, class and ethnicity.

What we will do with the donation

Even before the war 70% of women in gaza were unemployed (gaza has the highest unemployment rate in the world at 50%) despite Palestinian women having the highest education levels in the Middle East. 80% of people relied on humanitarian assistance, and freedom of movement was almost non- existent. The UN said that in

2020 Gaza was already uninhabitable. Now all of this has become critical with a completed restriction of the basic means to survive for civilian populations in Gaza.

Now most of the women who work with our project have been displaced. Those that haven't are either in very unsafe areas in the north with no where to go or in the south and now housing up to 30-40 people in their homes.

With no source of income, there is no way to feed their families, to buy fuel for generators or buy credit to charge their phones to keep whatever minimal contact with the outside world. Their houses destroyed in many cases, all the possessions lost, with no end in sight. At least three of the women are pregnant, most have small children. In the wake of an emergency of this scale, cash assistance at this time is the most dignified way to provide support to those in need, so they can choose for themselves what is most important for their and their families survival, be it fuel, shelter, food or water.
