Children hold the promise of a better tomorrow — but for many, poverty, hunger, and lack of opportunity stand in their way.
Your monthly donation ensures that children receive a quality education, nutritious meals, clean water, healthcare support, and more — moulding them into resilient leaders of tomorrow.
Providing consistent support across every area of their lives — education, nutrition, clean water, healthcare, and mental health — empowers children to reach their full potential.

EDUCATION IS THE FUTURE
Education is a powerful catalyst for change. It opens doors to better job prospects, enhances critical thinking, and fosters innovation and creativity. Moreover, it allows children to transcend the socio-economic barriers that might have confined their families for generations. By investing in education, we invest in the potential of every child to contribute meaningfully to their communities and to lead lives of dignity and fulfillment.

an EDUCATION
Our holistic education programs follows a 3-step process.
Addressing Immediate Needs
A child’s wellbeing starts with the basics. We conduct in-depth assessments to address critical needs like nutrition, healthcare, clean water and sanitation access, among others.
Building the Foundation
With the cornerstone of care set, we empower children with the tools for success: quality education, transportation, essential learning materials, and consistent medical support.
Fostering Self-Reliance
Having equipped the child with the essentials, our final step is to build a child’s resilience. With the help of regular check-ins and mental health support, we ensure that every child in our care grows into an independent young adult.
IDRF’s Every Child Counts Program
Hot meals
All our hot meals include a balance of protein and carbohydrates. These distributions target vulnerable populations like children and seniors across Gaza.
Clean water distribution
With each water truck, we quench thirst, prevent illness, and allow children to focus in the classroom. Beyond immediate relief, we’re investing in sustainable infrastructure like wells, providing lifelong assurance.
investing in their future
We invest in teacher training, upgraded facilities, and providing vital school supplies, so that children in our care have the best education possible.
health support
We support children with regular check-ups, quality treatments, and medication, allowing them to learn, worry-free.
education in emergencies
We make sure that emergencies do not disrupt learning. With your support, educational resources can reach children even amidst crisis. Establishing spaces for learning wherever needed ensures that every young scholar can their education.
psychosocial support
We prioritize mental health by providing robust support that encourages self-care and bolsters confidence, encouraging children to chase their dreams with unyielding determination and resilience.
No, “Every Child Counts” operates on a pooled funding model. This means that while your $50 monthly donation covers the average cost of providing essential support for one child, the donations from all donors are combined.
This pooled funding approach ensures that all children in the program have access to the same level of care, including education, healthcare, clean water, and nutrition.
By working together, we can create a sustainable impact for entire communities.
We use a pooled funding model because it is more effective and equitable. A one-to-one sponsorship can limit flexibility and result in some children or areas receiving less support.
Pooled funding allows us to focus on long-term, sustainable solutions for entire communities. It ensures that no child is left behind and helps us address larger issues like access to education, clean water, and healthcare for all children rather than just a few.
Your $50 donation contributes to providing:
- Education: School fees, uniforms, supplies, and teacher training.
- Healthcare: Vaccinations, medical check-ups, and health education.
- Nutrition: Nutritious meals and food aid for children and families.
- Clean Water and Sanitation: Access to safe drinking water, hygiene kits and hygiene facilities.
- Mental Health and Emotional Support: Programs to help children build resilience and thrive.
No, our program focuses on the collective well-being of all children rather than establishing individual connections.
However, we provide regular updates about the program’s overall progress, success stories, and the impact your donations are making. You’ll also receive reports and stories from the communities we serve so you can see how your contributions are transforming lives.
While we don’t facilitate one-to-one meetings with specific children, we offer donors opportunities to visit program sites and see the impact of their contributions firsthand.
These visits focus on the overall program and its success in transforming communities.
We prioritize the most vulnerable children and communities based on need assessments. These areas are often affected by poverty, lack of access to basic resources, or crises such as natural disasters or displacement. Our goal is to work in these communities to provide sustainable solutions that ensure all children have the opportunity to thrive.
