Across the world, over 122 million people have been displaced, almost half of whom are children.

And if you aren’t one, then luck has been on your side.

Choose Love do incredible work. I wanted to share why I’m choosing love this winter, so I teamed up with Choose Love and  Coldplay to make this video, and let people know how urgent and important it is. Take a look:

Send a vital message: that when the world feels at its darkest and there’s so much in our lives we can’t control… we can still Choose Love.

So, please visit the Choose Love shop to do something amazing today.

The situation in Gaza is unbearable. More than 2 million people, almost half of them children remain trapped, under bombardment with nowhere safe to go. It’s reported that over 20,000 children are missing, with many separated from their family, buried in unmarked graves, or trapped under rubble.

Our incredible partners have been doing everything they can to save lives, distribute food, medical supplies, provide shelter and emergency medical and psychosocial support, working in the hardest and most heartbreaking conditions. 

Together, we have already raised $2 million for our partners. Here are the incredible partners we’ve supported with your help so far. 

Thanks to a generous donor, we have a $1.5 million match fund for our partners in Gaza. That means that all donations up to that amount will be doubled. 

100% of what you donate will go towards providing critical aid for people in Gaza and those forcibly displaced, including food, shelter, water, clothing, support for mothers and babies, medical and psychosocial services. 

Please donate what you can. Every donation makes such a difference.

Our five incredible partners and their work:

Anera

Anera have been working tirelessly to deliver food to communities in Gaza, as well as distributing hygiene kits, running wound management clinics and supporting people with chronic health issues.

INARA

INARA is focussed on supporting the critical medical and mental health needs of children in Gaza. We have granted their work towards helping people access emergency surgeries, stocking medical supplies, providing post-operative care and running mental health projects in the hardest of conditions.

Humanity & Inclusion

Humanity & Inclusion supports people with disabilities and injuries in Gaza. They distribute essential supplies of crutches, wheelchairs, hygiene and first aid kits. They provide rehabilitation and post-operative care to the injured and educational activities to help displaced children.

Doctors of the World

Doctors of the World have been working in Gaza since 2006. They are providing emergency medical services across Gaza to save as many lives as possible, bridging a critical shortage of vital medical services including medicines, primary healthcare appointments, midwifery, nurses and mental health support via makeshift clinics and mobile teams. 

MAP

MAP continues to scale up their emergency response 
in Gaza by distributing urgent aid, including shelter supplies, water and food, and is delivering urgent nutrition support with local partners. Supporting the depleted health service, MAP is sending emergency medical teams to Gaza as well as providing hospitals and health centres with medical supplies and rehabilitating hospitals to function.

Please keep donating what you can.

Were you inspired by the London Marathon this weekend? After watching hundreds of thousands of people take on an incredible feat, and raise millions for charity, are you itching to take on a challenge? We’d LOVE for you to do it in support of Choose Love. We’ll even send you an exclusive Choose Love running vest for you to run in!

We’ve compiled a list of amazing races below that you can register for, then all you need to do is create a fundraising page on our bespoke Choose Love platform – and we’ll get your money to displaced people as soon as possible.

And if you’re more of a cake baker or etsy creator, that’s great too! You can create a page for anything you’d like to do to raise money, or ask people to sponsor you in a challenge you’ve invented. You can even raise money in honour of a wedding or birthday.
