Kilimanjaro for Gaza’s Orphans

We climb to highlight the orphans of Gaza

**Nearly 60,000** children have been orphaned in Gaza. Behind each number is a child who lost parents, a home, and the ground beneath their feet.

There are **over 20,000 orphaned children in the NOOR Program.** Each one a reason to climb. And each one a reason to give.

This is a commitment to care, dignity, and development from their childhood to adulthood. An 18 years holistic care program per child.

Kilimanjaro - Ibn Hattuta
