Palestine Marathon 2020

About the Cause

The deteriorating humanitarian situation in the occupied Palestinian territory is now in its 52nd year. At least 1.9 million Palestinians are constantly experiencing violence, conflict, denial of access to employment, among other threats. Palestinians have very limited access to basic essentials such as food and water, and vulnerable households struggle daily to cope with the prolonged nature of the crisis.

Penny Appeal stays up to date with reports coming directly from Humanitarian organisations on the ground. We have tailored our responses to address a variety of needs, focusing on the poverty and food insecurity that Palestinians constantly face. During our visit to Palestine our fundraisers will visit refugee camps , and distribute food parcels to poor and needy families, using some of the money they've raised.

By signing up to this life-changing challenge our fundraisers will be asked to raise a minimum of £1,000 for our Love Palestine programme which will support the following projects:

- Distribution of food parcels to families living with chronic food insecurity

- Empower Palestinian Farmers to expand their olive farms and build a sustainable living

- Build rooftop gardens for women to provide a sustainable source of income and crop

- Provide essential aid such as clean water and medical care in the Gaza Strip
