Our Mission
We understand that during and post war times, aid coordination between governments and big established humanitarian foundations to provide specialized humanitarian assistance are often bureaucratic and problematic, often leading to leaving behind many victims unattended to.
The Wings For Hope Project’s mission is to bring together different grassroots humanitarian institutions, philanthropists, entrepreneurs, and professionals forming synergies with the sole purpose of creating mutual aid opportunities for a sustainable uninterrupted aid to war victims in the middle east.
WFH team strategize and work towards building a platform of mutual aid with the aim to overcome political and logistical berries to ensure uninterrupted effective reach to the beneficiaries in need.
WFH platform will focus on providing high tech prosthetics and orthotics, in addition to specialized medical procedures for all civilian blast victims who have been directly affected by military assaults.
Wings for Hope project will initially work on a priority basis for children in addition to adults whom are the sole providers for their families.
The Reality on the Ground
More than 10 children per day have lost one or both of their legs in Gaza *(Save The Children). Israeli forces have also destroyed Gaza’s only facility for manufacturing prosthetics and rehabilitation.
UNICEF estimates that a thousand children in Gaza have become amputees since the genocide began in October. The numbers are estimated to be much higher. The effects of a loss of a limb on a child physically and emotionally is devastating.
The number of child amputees carries long-term implications with them requiring follow up medical care and a change in prosthesis as they outgrow them. Due to the high manufacturing costs of available bionic prosthesis in the market, most victims do not have the means to access them.
As the devastation in Gaza continues, the only prosthetics manufacturer in Gaza has been destroyed in addition to any rehabilitation or physical therapy centers. Hence, there aren’t any assistance to be provided to any amputee patient in the Gaza Strip.
Based on this harsh reality, Wings For Hope team has adopted the strategy of locating and treating that victims who were evacuated; in this manner, the donations collected and the aid provided is 100% guaranteed to reach a direct victim of the Israeli genocide.
