Fundraising for Save the Children
Story
The Ethnicity Network is inviting you to learn about Ramadan, take part in a Solidarity Fast and receive a treat box to join in the celebrations of Eid at the end of Ramadan. Find out more on the SharePoint page & Headlines email.
This year presents significant challenges, with 80% of people facing famine globally residing in Gaza, and 1 in 6 children under two acutely malnourished in parts of Gaza. We're raising funds for Save the Children's Emergency Fund to help provide essential support including food, water, and hygiene products to families in Gaza.
Fasting during Ramadan is about more than abstaining from food and drink. It's about nurturing respect and compassion for our fellow brothers and sisters in humanity around the world, and about striving to become the best version of ourselves. Ramadan is a time of giving to charity, and supporting the needy is an obligation before people celebrate Eid.
Many thanks for your generous donations - it will make a world of difference to those who are in need.

About Save the Children Gaza: https://www.savethechildren.org.uk/how-you-can-help/emergencies/gaza-crisis
Our Emergency Fund not only enables us to respond immediately when a disaster strikes, it also allows us to respond to the countless ongoing crises around the world that don't hit the headlines.
This fund allows us to pool resources before emergencies happen. This means that we can plan, prepare for and deliver aid to children and communities as soon as a crisis hits.
We've distributed food parcels, water, hygiene products and recreational kits to families in Gaza through local partners.
We have also started to provide mental health and psychosocial support to children and their families and we’re delivering cash to families to help them to buy essentials.
In Egypt, we’re supporting hospitals and ambulances to receive medical evacuees from Gaza, including assistance for premature babies, and we’re training frontline staff on child safeguarding as well as mental health and psychosocial support.
