Help families in need this Christmas
Help families far from home this Christmas
Home is a special place, all year round. We all share the yearning for a familiar, safe place surrounded by loved ones.
As Christmas approaches, it becomes even more cherished.
Now imagine if getting home was an impossible dream. Imagine if you had been forced to leave, not knowing if you could ever return.
Imagine if your shelter now, in the depths of winter, was thrown together from plastic or thin fabric, offering no real protection against the cold, rain and snow. This is the reality for millions of families this Christmas across Gaza, Sudan and beyond.
With your support we can be there for families in need.
Your support means people left with absolutely nothing can survive far from home.
With your support GOAL teams can continue to provide hope to families in the world's poorest communities. In the most dangerous conflicts. Delivering food, water and medical care.
With your help, we can save lives. Because that's what GOALies do.
Please donate today and help deliver critical support to families in need this Christmas.

Supporting families fleeing conflict this Christmas
Across Sudan, tens of thousands of families have been forced to flee their homes. Families like Islam’s.
Lawlessness and violence forced her to flee to Kassab refugee camp in North Darfur with her new born baby Rawia.
After making the long journey Islam was relieved to find safe haven. Unfortunately, this relief was shortlived.
GOAL teams immediately recognised that baby Rawia was severely malnourished.
Her eyes were rolling back in her head. She was slipping in and out of consciousness. Clearly, fast action was needed.
GOAL teams immediately transferred baby Rawia and Islam to a local hospital where she was placed on a special high calorie liquid diet.
We desperately hoped this would work. We prayed that Rawia would have the strength to fight back and grow strong. But it was too late. Tiny Rawia lost her brave battle in early September.
Sadly, Rawia’s tragic story is a familiar one in East Africa this Christmas. As climate change intensifies, crops fail and conflict rages thousands of families need your support.
