In Israel and Palestine, ordinary people are choosing to build peace together.
A ceasefire is not peace. It’s a pause. A breath. A fragile chance.
After years of devastating conflict in Israel and Palestine, that chance has finally come. But for the families who lost loved ones, the children processing trauma, and communities struggling through starvation, the hardest work is just beginning.
This is where hope becomes action.
Maya, our Israel Country Director, was in Ramallah as the ceasefire was announced. As she stood in a room with the Palestinian president, overwhelmed with emotion, the pain of war was undeniable—but so was the determination to move forward. She read a declaration from the Israeli peace camp, urging Israeli and Palestinian communities to see this moment not as an ending, but as a first step.
It’s not easy. Some days, it feels impossible. But people show up anyway—because they refuse to let conflict define their future.
Your gift today helps strengthen that fragile hope. A generous donor is matching every dollar up to $40,000, so your support can reach twice as many families rebuilding peace.
