Hadeel is a dedicated nurse in Gaza with a Bachelor’s degree in Nursing Science. Supporters in Scotland led by Kimberley Pearson/Mental Health Workers UK 4 Palestine have raised £20,000 to bring Hadeel to Glasgow University for post-graduate studies BUT TIME IS RUNNING OUT. A total of £35,000 is needed to cover fees, accommodation, living costs and travel. We are trying to help with some fundraising of our own to ensure that Hadeel does not miss this vital opportunity to further her studies this September.

Stepping Forward supports the training of professionals in areas related to disability and health issues. Qualified health professionals are essential for supporting the severe and complex health challenges facing the population of Gaza. One in four Gazans has acquired a new disability requiring treatment and rehabilitation since October 2023 (UN 2025).
