The Olive Branch Education Fund for Gaza 2024

Thanks to the generosity of our donors and supporters, King’s Academy was able to welcome two students from Gaza, young people whose lives were deeply affected by the 2023 war. Through your kindness, they were given the opportunity to continue their education in a safe and inspiring environment that encourages learning, healing, and hope. Their resilience and determination have touched the hearts of everyone at King’s, reminding us of the profound difference that education can make in the life of a child. With your continued support, we can extend this opportunity to even more students from Gaza, offering them not only an education but also the care and future they deserve.

King’s Academy has established The Olive Branch Education Fund for Gaza 2024, with the aim of educating and supporting children whose lives and education have been compromised as a result of the war on Gaza. The fund is designed to offer these children a stable and nurturing environment by enrolling them as full boarding students at King’s Academy, a boarding school founded by HM King Abdullah II in Madaba, Jordan in 2007.

The devastating consequences of the Gaza war have left many children in Gaza traumatized and their lives and families disrupted and grieving. Many do not have access to basic necessities such as water, food, shelter and education. Some are now refugees.

King’s Academy’s mission is to “develop and empower young leaders from diverse backgrounds who will cherish one another and drive change towards a shared future of peace and opportunity.” The Olive Branch Fund represents a unique opportunity to make a tangible difference in the lives of children who have endured unimaginable hardship. Through this fund, King’s Academy moves one step closer to fulfilling its mission by making a lasting impact on the lives of vulnerable children and providing them with hope, education, and the chance to build a better future.
