Story

The Big Heart Foundation’s annual "Kiswat Eid" initiative returns this year with the target of supporting 20,000 orphaned children in Gaza, aiming to bring joy to their hearts during this time of hardship that they face. Unfortunately given the recent closure of all borders again, we will not be able to deliver the boxes of clothes in time for Eid, however we are committed to getting them the clothing gift boxes as soon as we are able to.

This initiative and activation is in partnership with Taawon (Welfare Association, Palestine), Al Zahia City Center (AZCC, MAF), and Al Fares Al Shaham (The Chivalrous Knight Operation).
