The Cause
In Gaza, around 95% of pregnant and breastfeeding mothers are suffering from acute malnutrition. Evacuated from their homes and often ripped apart from their families, many are struggling to feed their babies and themselves.
Join us as we walk in solidarity for our sisters who are suffering.
On this 8-mile walk, we will raise funds to purchase mother & baby kits (nappies, formula, sanitary pads, razors, towels and moisturiser) and send as many as possible to our sisters in Gaza.Our local partners will deliver them in the North and South of Gaza, ensuring that they reach those in most need.
Let’s make a crowd on our walk around London, raising awareness and funds to deliver life-saving supplies toPalestinian mothers and babies.
