The Need

The loss of a parent reshapes a child’s entire world.

Beyond grief, children face emotional trauma, food insecurity, disrupted education, unstable housing, and long-term vulnerability — challenges that do not end after the first months of crisis.

Short-term aid alone is not enough. Children need continuity of care, stable relationships, and support that evolves as they grow.

What is NOOR?

What Makes
NOOR Different

NOOR is built on a true long-term care model — delivered at scale:

  • Care evolves from early childhood through adolescence and adulthood
  • Educational support adjusts as academic needs change
  • Psychosocial care responds to trauma over time — not just in moments of crisis
  • Families and caregivers are supported so stability surrounds the child

With 20,000+ children supported in Gaza, NOOR is one of the only programs delivering this level of sustained, comprehensive care for orphaned and vulnerable children at this scale.

Through long-term support and broad reach, we ensure no child is left behind — they are accompanied at every stage of development.
