Go PROJECT HOPE A HEALTH AND EDUCATION INITIATIVE
GAZA RELIEF
GAZA NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT.
Any amount can make a difference.
Go Project Hope is focused on the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Over the last 50 days, 1.7 million people have been displaced, with thousands killed and even more injured. A lack of food, clean water and medical supplies has caused an unprecedented humanitarian crisis, and starvation is knocking on the doors. We are working with many organizations in Cairo, to provide humanitarian aid, food, and medical supplies into Gaza on the ground and near the Gaza border.
We need your support now more than ever before. Any amount can make a difference.

URGENT:
The COVID-19 pandemic poses a grave threat to displaced people and refugees who are enduring some of the most inhumane living conditions. In the coming weeks, Go Project Hope will distribute an essential health kit which includes soap, hand sanitizer and a towel. These kits will be distributed at the Moria refugee camp in Lesbos, Greece along with a copy of our hand-washing comic booklet. Help us protect the most vulnerable! You can contribute by purchasing an item from our Amazon wish List or by donating directly to the Go Project Hope Website.
Go Project Hope’s Upcoming Comic Book
Life in a refugee camp is difficult and staying mentally and physically healthy is a challenge for heroes! Camp Care Comics is a series of engaging booklets and care kits that address unpleasant health conditions, such as lice, scabies and toxic stress in a fun and engaging way. Our Superhero Azhar appears time and again with solutions for these difficult health conditions.
Camp Care will be used as an educational resource distributed in healthcare centers and read to children in informal teaching situations. The comic booklets will be translated into several languages including Arabic, Dari, French and Spanish. It will be distributed with a care kit that provides necessary health supplies, such as antibacterial soap, high performance lice combs, fungal cream and a yoga mats.
Music and Movement Program at the Jalazone
Refugee Camp
Project Hope designed and implemented an integrated movement and music class at the Jalazone refugee camp in the West Bank. The classes were for special needs children and their siblings who often care for them. Students ranged from ages 4-14 and had a wide range of special needs including but not limited to autism, learning disabilities, developmental delays and cerebral palsy.
Jamelah Lahoud, a Project Hope Volunteer with formal dance training, designed and implemented these movement classes.

Help us provide a much needed dental kit to every child.
HEALTH ⎟ MEDITATION ⎟ EDUCATION
There are currently 65.5 million displaced persons worldwide, the largest number since World War II. Today, 22.5 million are refugees under the age of 18. As a result of persecution, statelessness, conflict and war this young population legitimately seeks a safe future for themselves and their families. The lack of access to healthcare and education severely diminishes their human rights to adequate livelihood and universal well-being.
Our mission is to aid refugees living in camps, awaiting resettlement or returning to their homeland by developing and implementing health, education and mindful initiatives that serve children and families. Project Hope collaborates with aid-agencies and NGO's to improve the safety, health and education of refugees through various projects and campaigns.
Laundry Campaign
Azhar was forced to flee Iraq after her home was destroyed and several of her family members were killed. Azhar now lives with her husband and three boys in a refugee camp in Lesbos, Greece. The camp is temporary home to over one thousand refugees who live in small Isobox shelters that house between three and eight people. Azhar accumulates the equivalent of five loads of laundry a week and six loads during the winter months, when its wet and rainy. Azhar washes all of her family's laundry by hand, with exception of one load, which she places in the camp washing machine on Mondays at 10:30 AM. Her camp only has 9 washing machines and limited washing powder. If Azhar misses her scheduled time slot she will have to wash that load by hand as well.
Go Project Hope aims to help mothers like Azhar keep her family clean and healthy. Your tax deductible donation will provide a refugee camp wash room with ten additional washing machines and washing powder.
LAUNDRY CAMPAIGN KITS:
$25 buys three days worth of detergent for the entire camp
$50 buys one week worth of detergent for the entire camp
$100 buys two weeks worth of detergent for the entire camp
$200 buys one month worth of detergent for the entire camp
