The Olive Branch Education Fund for Gaza 2024
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 2023-24 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.
