In the blessed month of Ramadan, we honor the memory of Abu Diaa Khaled Nabhan, a grandfather from Gaza whose heartbreaking loss and unwavering love moved the world. Abu Diaa Khaled Nabhan, famously known for holding his deceased granddaughter and calling her the “soul of my soul,” became a symbol of resilience amidst unimaginable suffering. In his name, we launch this fundraiser to provide immediate emergency relief to displaced families in crisis zones—families who, like Abu Diaa Khaled Nabhan's, deserve hope, dignity, and a future.

Quranic Call to Action

Allah ﷻ declares:

“The example of those who spend their wealth in the Way of Allah is like a seed that grows seven spikes, each bearing a hundred grains” - (Quran 2:261).

Education is a Sadaqah Jariyah —a perpetual charity that continues to benefit long after we are gone. By supporting READ’s Education in Emergencies program, you invest in a divine act that breaks cycles of poverty and despair while empowering future generations.
Your Zakat and Sadaqah is a lifeline for children trapped in the world’s most devastating crises. 

Crisis Zones: Your Impact

Emergency Relief

In Gaza, over 1.9 million Palestinians are sheltering in damaged schools, a stark reminder of their uncertain futures. To address their urgent needs, we are committed to delivering:

• Hot Meals: Providing nutritious food to sustain families who have lost everything.
• Hygiene Kits: Supplying essential items to prevent the spread of disease in overcrowded shelters.
• Medical Clinics: Offering critical healthcare services to treat injuries and illnesses.

These interventions are vital lifelines for over 177,000 displaced families, ensuring they receive the care and support necessary to survive and rebuild.

Food for Families and Children in Gaza

Education and Psychosocial Care with READ

While emergency relief is our immediate priority, we recognize the importance of long-term recovery through education and mental health support. Our initiatives include:

• Psychosocial Support: Trauma counseling and play therapy for children to heal emotional wounds.
• Temporary Learning Spaces: Establishing safe classrooms to continue education amidst chaos.
• School Rehabilitation: Rebuilding and equipping schools to provide stable learning environments

These programs aim to restore a sense of normalcy and hope, empowering children to envision a brighter future.

Children in Gaza need spaces to heal and play - to be children. READ Foundation is focused on rebuilding the lives and futures of the youth of Gaza.
