Restoring Education in Gaza (2026)

Seven Spikes Relief Foundation - Inaya’s Smile School

Inaya’s Smile School began in a tent.

When schools were destroyed and education halted for over two years, a group of qualified teachers stepped forward to protect the future of 350 displaced children in Al Nuseirat Camp, Gaza.

Today, the school provides free education, psychological support, and stability to children who have lost homes, loved ones, and access to formal schooling.

We are raising funds to secure six months of running costs and essential classroom infrastructure — ensuring these children can continue learning safely and with dignity.

We are looking to raise £62,611 which consists of £18,295 one-off costs and monthly maintenance costs of £7,386 where we are looking to secure six months coverage.

Inaya’s Smile School was established in June 2025 by experienced postgraduate-qualified teachers determined to prevent an entire generation from losing their education due to conflict.

Located in Al Nuseirat Camp, Gaza, the school serves 350 students in Grades 5–9 and is officially accredited by the Palestinian Ministry of Education.

Over 90% of schools in Gaza have been damaged or destroyed, leaving hundreds of thousands of children without structured learning environments. Many students have experienced displacement, trauma, and severe interruption to their education.

The school began with a small tent and basic supplies. Through determination and community support, it now delivers:
• Core academic subjects (Arabic, English, Maths, Science)
• Psychological counselling workshops
• Trauma-informed support sessions
• Educational follow-up with families

However, funding remains the biggest challenge.

This project aims to secure:
• Essential classroom furniture and equipment
• Learning materials for 350 students
• Safe water and sanitation facilities
• Emergency supplies
• Teaching staff salaries
• Six months of operational continuity

Total Project Cost: £62,611

This funding will secure six months of safe, structured education for 350 displaced children.

One-Off Costs – £18,295

This includes essential setup and infrastructure costs:

• Classroom furniture (100 tables, 400 chairs)
• 3 Laptops
• 2 Projectors
• 2 Whiteboards
• 1 Camera
• 1 Mobile phone
• 2 x 20sqm learning tents
• Clean water tank

Monthly Operational Costs – £7,386 per month

We are seeking 6 months of support, covering:

• Daily small meals for 350 students
• Classroom supplies (books, pens, markers, notebooks)
• Water refills and hygiene supplies
• Emergency and first aid materials
• Warm clothing for students

This funding ensures education continues with dignity, safety, and stability — restoring hope for 350 children in Gaza.

Education restores more than knowledge.

It restores structure.
It restores safety.
It restores hope.

Your donation helps ensure 350 children continue learning — not in fear, but with opportunity.
