Gaza Children's Treatment Campaign

Campaign Process

The campaign began with a deep concern for the worsening conditions in Gaza. We noticed the alarming spread of skin diseases among children and felt an urgent need to contribute. We took to our Instagram page to share this concern and ask for help. Through this outreach, a follower connected us with a doctor in Gaza who provided a list of the required medications.

With this crucial information, we mobilized quickly, gathering donations from friends and family. A breakthrough came when we found a pharmacy willing to help by offering these medications at no or minimal profit. With the funds we raised, we placed an order and coordinated with the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization (JHCO), the authorized body with the capacity to send aid to Gaza. Within a week, the medications reached the clinics and hospitals in need, bringing much-needed relief to the affected children and their families.

Outcomes and Impact

The Gaza Children's Treatment Campaign successfully delivered over 500 units of essential medications, including topical creams, antibiotics, and antifungal treatments. This effort brought immediate relief to hundreds of children suffering from skin diseases in Gaza. The campaign’s success was not only measured by the delivery of these medications but also by the hope and support it provided to the community.

Replication Guide

If you’re inspired by the Gaza Children's Treatment Campaign and want to make a difference, here’s how you can start:

• Identify the Problem: Begin by recognizing a critical issue that needs attention. Remember, everyone has the potential to help, but it requires action. Don’t let the thought of “I can’t” hold you back—just like we did when we saw the spread of skin diseases among children in Gaza and decided to act.
• Ask for Help: You don’t need to have all the answers. Reach out to friends, family, or your social media network for ideas, guidance, or support. You might discover new ways to contribute or find people who are willing to assist you. In our case, a simple Instagram story connected us with a doctor in Gaza who guided us on what medications were needed.
• Stay on Track: Don’t get discouraged if you face obstacles. Think through the challenges carefully, and you’ll find a way forward. When we faced the challenge of sourcing medications, we persisted until we found a pharmacy willing to help by providing the drugs at minimal profit.
• Use Authorized Channels: If your goal is to help people in Gaza, the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization (JHCO) is the authorized committee for sending aid. Everyone can send support through them. We collaborated with JHCO to ensure our medications were safely delivered to those in need.
