Help the Gaza Sunbirds Train Disabled Athletes in Egypt & Belgium

Gaza Sunbirds is raising money for Amos Trust
The Gaza Sunbirds are a para-cycling team, consisting of 20 athletes, based in the Gaza Strip. The team was founded in 2018 when Alaa al-Dali, an Olympic hopeful cyclist, was shot in the leg by an Israeli sniper. They are currently distributing aid.

Story

🌍 What’s Happening?

Thousands of Gazans with disabilities have been forced to flee their homes and are now trying to start new lives as refugees. We cannot sit and wait for this genocide to end, we are taking action today.

The Gaza Sunbirds are opening two new para-cycling teams in Egypt and Belgium to use cycling as a tool for rehabilitation, recovery, and hope.

🚴 Our Programme

We are launching a 3-month training programme designed for people with disabilities. It will:

1. Build strength, balance, and confidence

2. Teach participants to cycle safely indoors and outdoors

3. Provide professional coaching and community support

4. Offer weekly team meetings and socials to connect athletes across borders

Every graduate will receive a bike as mobility equipment. Those who excel will be offered the chance to continue with free coaching, and some will join the professional Palestine para-cycling team, representing Palestine on the world stage.

🎯 Our Goal

We need $70,000 to:

- Equip and train up to 120 athletes in Egypt and Belgium

- Provide bikes, kits, and safe training facilities

- Support our first women’s para-cycling team

- Build a rolling programme that creates a sustainable pipeline for future athletes

🏅 Our Track Record

The Gaza Sunbirds have already trained 35+ athletes in Gaza, competed at the World Championships, and proven we can deliver results even under the most difficult circumstances. Now, with certified coaches and international infrastructure, we are ready to scale.
