Frequently Asked Questions

  • We operate two main field programs. The Children’s Village in Gaza provides mobile psychosocial support across displacement camps and a fixed center in Deir al-Balah. The Children’s Hub in Cairo offers a stable learning environment for displaced Palestinian families.

  • In 2025, the PHRC supported about 400 children and caregivers in total. Specifically, the Children's Village in Gaza reached 250 beneficiaries, while the Cairo Hub assisted around 60 displaced children and their families.

  • Donations fund five main areas: supporting partners and psychosocial experts, maintaining child-friendly mobile spaces, and buying creative and basic care materials in Cairo and Gaza. They also cover facilitator training and wellbeing, as well as cultural production, emergency aid (like water and winter clothes), and advocacy efforts.

  • Yes, it will. The PHRC plans to expand its structured programming in 2026. This includes strengthening caregiver support and developing dedicated spaces for psychosocial care. We will also integrate cultural approaches to foster long-term recovery and resilience.

  • Yes, the projects is ongoing, and it appears that it will continue for a while. The mental health impact on children in Gaza is immense, beyond anyone's ability to grasp, which indicates that interventions such as the children's village will be necessary long after the conclusion of this acute and brutal aggression. As long as the need is there we will be actively engaged.

  • Our methodology uses two interconnected approaches. Emergency Pedagogy provides trauma-informed early intervention to restore safety and stability. Active Learning uses participatory, arts-based methods like theatre and storytelling to encourage expression and social connection.

  • Yes, we do. Since a child's recovery is closely tied to their caregivers' wellbeing, we offer individual psychological support sessions for parents. We also run empowerment workshops focusing on emotional regulation and practical strategies to aid children's healing.

  • Published in 2025, 'Witness | شاهد' is an archival book that documents the lived experiences of Palestinian children in Gaza since October 2023. It features their drawings and testimonies to share their stories. You can order it through our website.
