Donate to a Family in Gaza

When you decide to donate to a family in Gaza, you are not sending money into a faceless system. You are choosing real people, with names, children and daily needs, and helping them get through another week. We are the Ashqar family, and this page explains honestly what your donation does, how to send it and what happens after you give. If you are still deciding how you want to help, you may also like our guide How to Help a Family in Gaza.

Why a direct donation still makes a difference

Big agencies carry most of the humanitarian response, and their work saves lives every day. Their reports also show how wide the gap remains. In its humanitarian situation report for early 2026, UNICEF counted around 1.7 million children in Gaza in need of humanitarian assistance and reported that 97.5 percent of schools had been damaged or destroyed. No single organization can reach every household at the same time.

A family-level donation fills a very specific gap. It pays for the things that keep one home running: water for this month, food for the children this week, rent, light at night, or a pen and notebook for school. Because the need is small and concrete, you can see exactly what your support changed.

What your donation pays for

Every need we list has a clear purpose and a target amount on our Forms of Assistance page, where a progress bar shows how much has been covered so far. The main needs are:

• Clean drinking water: a monthly cost of about $100 so the whole family, especially the children, has safe water to drink.

• Healthy food and supplements: from around $150 to provide nutritious meals and supplements for the children.

• Safer shelter: monthly support toward renting a safe apartment, and a longer-term goal of a simple caravan to replace the tent.

• Solar power for light: a small solar panel so the family has electricity after dark.

• A safe place to cook: a basic wooden kitchen with a sink and utensils instead of cooking on an open fire.

• School supplies: notebooks, pens and bags so the children can keep learning.

You do not have to cover a full amount. Many supporters give part of one need, and together those gifts complete it.

How to donate to a family in Gaza safely

Traditional bank transfers into Gaza are difficult, so each need on our assistance page has its own QR code. You scan the code with the Binance app and send your gift directly through Binance Pay, a cryptocurrency payment service that works across borders. If you have never used it before, Binance explains how the service works in its official Binance Pay overview.

A few simple steps keep your donation safe:

1. Open our Forms of Assistance page from this website, not from a link someone sends you privately.

2. Choose the need you want to support and scan the QR code shown under it.

3. Check the amount and currency before you confirm.

4. If you have any question before you give, contact us through the WhatsApp number shown in the footer of this site.

One-time or monthly: which is better?

Both help. A one-time gift is perfect for a specific goal, such as completing the solar panel or the kitchen. A monthly donation is the most powerful way to support a family in Gaza over time, because water, food and rent never stop. Even a small monthly amount allows parents to plan ahead instead of facing every month in fear.

What happens after you donate

Your gift goes toward the need you selected. We update the progress on our assistance page, and we share photos and news about our daily life on our Stories & Updates page. You can also read our Real Story and A Family's Story of Survival and Hope to understand where we come from and why we decided to ask for help publicly.

We know trust has to be earned. That is why we write openly about who we are, show real photos and invite questions. If you are comparing different options, our article Best Charity to Donate to Palestine explains how direct family support fits alongside larger organizations.

Every gift counts

You do not need to give a large amount to make a real difference. When you donate to a family in Gaza, even a small contribution can mean a week of clean water or a full basket of food for the children. If donating is not possible right now, sharing this page with friends is another meaningful way to help.
