Story

As part of our 25th year of global giving, Gulf for Good is honoured to partner with Taawon (Welfare Association) as an official charity partner for the Dubai Marathon 2026, taking place on Sunday, 1 February 2026.

Our campaign, Run for Gaza, Run for Good, is a call to action — a movement grounded in hope, resilience, and humanity. This year, we run with a dedicated purpose: to support orphaned children in Gaza through Taawon’s Noor Program, which provides education, psychosocial care, health support, and the stability every child deserves.

With over 52,000 children orphaned as a result of the 2023–2025 war, the Noor Program has become a vital lifeline, ensuring children can continue learning, healing, and rebuilding their futures with dignity.
