Story

Thank You for Your Kindness and Support 🌿

From the bottom of our hearts, we want to thank each and every one of you who are donating to support the Art Tents in Gaza. Your generosity and compassion have brought light, color, and hope to a place where it’s needed most.

Because of your kindness, children and families now have a space to create, to express, and to heal — a space where art becomes a form of strength and resilience. Every brushstroke, every smile, every shared moment of creativity is made possible by your thoughtfulness.

Your message of solidarity has been received with deep gratitude. In these tents, amidst so much hardship, your support reminds us all that humanity and love know no borders.

With heartfelt thanks and appreciation,

Because of the generosity of our donors we are continuing with this fund raising Art from the Rubble to help the resident artist and helpers in Gaza, to get more art materials, pay them to help with feeding their families as well as the kids who attend the classes. Please donate. This really is affecting their life’s. YOU ARE MAKING AN AMAZING DIFFERENCE. THANK YOU

In Gaza, survival is not just about finding food and shelter — it is about holding on to hope, identity, and creativity in the midst of destruction.

Our lead artist, Nada A. Rajab, and her family were displaced from northern Gaza and now have no home. Nada has lived through five wars and 21 displacements. Yet, she continues to inspire children and teachers by leading Art from the Rubble, a project that turns ruins into resilience, and debris into powerful messages of survival.

We urgently need to raise £2,500 to provide:

1️⃣ A shelter tent for Nada and her family, giving them safety and dignity.

2️⃣ A Travelling Art Tent – a mobile creative hub where children can learn, play, and express themselves through drawing, writing, and storytelling. This tent will also become a living artwork, decorated by the children, carrying their voices of resistance, hope, and survival across Gaza.

Every contribution will help us provide not only shelter but also a space where children can heal, dream, and imagine a brighter future.

💛 Together, we can make sure that amidst the rubble, art continues to bloom.

👉 Please donate today and share this campaign. Your support can give children in Gaza both a roof over their heads and a canvas for their voices.
