Three years into the crisis, hunger is still a daily reality for families in Gaza β and food support has become one of the clearest ways our community has stepped up.
Here's what that support has looked like:
π₯ 5,000+ vegetable parcels
π 20,000+ food vouchers
π² 100,000+ hot meals
π¦ 20,000+ food parcels
π₯© 12,000+ kg of meat distributed
None of this happens without supporters who keep showing up, meal after meal, month after month. The need is far from over β and neither is our commitment.

The numbers are stark: 9 in 10 families in Gaza are living with moderate-to-high water insecurity β and that number keeps climbing. A recent halt in desalination cut access for a million more people. Wells are damaged. Wastewater systems are offline. And winter is on its way. [Source: United Nations Office for the Coordination of Human Affairs]
Over 1.7 million litres of clean water are being delivered every single day to families in need.
This crisis isn't slowing down. Your support can help make sure the water doesn't stop either. Give today. π§https://bit.ly/4bcpSTQ

Three years into the crisis, clean water remains one of the most urgent needs in Gaza β and one of the most consistent ways our community has shown up.
Here's what that support has looked like:
π§ 5 water desalination plants
π 1.7 million litres of water delivered daily
π 230+ water distribution points across Gaza
Every litre delivered is possible because of supporters who kept giving, even as the crisis stretched on. The need hasn't paused β and neither have we.

What a night for Sudan. πΈπ©
Thank you to everyone who joined IDRF, London Muslim Mosque, and the Sudanese Canadian Community Association for the Sudan Relief Dinner. Together, we came together as a community to stand with families facing one of the world's most urgent humanitarian crises.
A special thank you to our speakers, Nabil Ali, Dr. Munir El-Kassem, Principal Ibrahim Abd Rahman, and Imam Abd Al Fatah Twakkal, for sharing their voices and reminding us why this work matters.
Every seat that night helped deliver emergency aid to families rebuilding their lives, but the need doesn't end here.

In Somalia, millions of children are growing up without access to school, nutrition, or basic healthcare. Not because they lack potential, but because they haven't had the opportunity.
Through Every Child Counts, IDRF is working to change that, providing Somali children with the support they need to learn, grow, and build a future.
Join us in making that possible: https://bit.ly/45oJyR3 πΈπ΄

Every child deserves the basics: a bag for school, supplies to learn, and food on the table.
Last week, we distributed stationery, school bags, hygiene items, and food to children in need- small essentials that make a big difference in a child's daily life and dignity.
Your support helps ensure no child goes without.

Sponsoring a child isn't just about one gift; it's about a framework.
Our Every Child Counts program is built on three steps: meeting foundational needs like nutrition, healthcare, and clean water; giving children the tools for success through education and resources; and building resilience through mental health support and confidence-building.
This is how we raise resilient leaders, not just educated survivors.
Through a pooled model, every child receives equal, comprehensive care across all three stages, for as little as $65/month.
