Dear Friends,

The Palestine Foundation is excited to announce our latest initiative, a project where the whole family can support Palestine and its children with messages of love and visual hugs from afar: Hearts to Gaza – Postcards of Love to Palestinian Children.

Join us for this children’s art project and competition to send our love to Palestinian children in Gaza. This is open to all children between the ages of 4 and 12! 

Hearts to Gaza raises awareness about the struggles of Palestinian children, and gets children worldwide involved in connecting through art and messages of hope. These postcards remind Palestinian kids — especially those in Gaza — that they are loved and not forgotten, while empowering kids to advocate creatively for human rights.

The Hearts to Gaza children’s art competition is designed to both encourage children around the world to share their love with Palestinian children and to recognize their work through publication and distribution. We welcome submissions from children in three age categories:

• Category 1: 4-6 years
• Category 2: 7-9 years
• Category 3: 10-12 years

Hearts to Gaza begins today, November 20, 2025 — International Children’s Day. Submissions close on April 5, 2026 – Palestinian Children’s Day.

Competition winners will be featured in interviews, social media, a website gallery, a booklet and a potential calendar featuring the Hearts to Gaza children’s art.

All proceeds from donations to the Hearts to Gaza campaign, or from the sale of the artwork publications, will be donated to a Palestinian partner organization on the ground in Gaza, for the specific purpose of providing art supplies and psycho-social support through art to children.

We welcome submissions from school classes, preschools, youth groups, scouts and other groups! All children must have a parent or guardian’s permission to enter, and we’ll take care to protect kids’ personal information.

Learn more by visiting the Hearts to Gaza special website, and submit your child’s art today!
