Our mission is to help
provide education and trauma informed care
for displaced Palestinian children
Attending school is a crucial factor in helping displaced young people recover from trauma
As well as education, the routine of going to school provides students with much needed structure, security and hope
Gaza
We provide financial assistance, material support to a dedicated and courageous team of teachers in Gaza who, despite having very few resources and against all the odds, have managed to convert 15 tents into a small school to provide much needed education and support for their young students.

Egypt
Since October 2023 an estimated 5,000 Palestinian children and their families managed to flee Gaza and were evacuated to Cairo. Unfortunately Palestinians do not have the right to attend public schools in Egypt. The mission of the Renew Roots Foundation is to provide these displaced children with the much needed safe learning spaces they need to thrive.
Trauma informed education
War leaves deep scars, especially on young children who have been forced to flee their homes. Beyond the physical dangers, displacement brings fear, loss, and uncertainty—disrupting their sense of security and crucial sense of belonging. At the Renew Roots Foundation, we believe that going to school provides more than access to education but also that it is the path to healing and growth.
Through training in trauma-informed care and education, the teachers we work with understand that connection is key for their students to learn to rebuild their confidence, regain trust, and rediscover hope. Our schools provide safe, nurturing environments where children are supported emotionally and academically.
Your financial support helps us continue this life-changing work. Every donation provides children with access to safe learning spaces, trained teachers and the emotional support they need to heal and to grow.
