In Gaza, as screeching bombs tore the region, our grantee partner The Cultural and Free Thought Association (CFTA) office was reduced to rubble. 

Amidst the debris, the CFTA team mourned the destruction of their space and comforted colleagues who’d lost loved ones in the strike. At this devastating moment, another blow came: key donors had cut their funding, threatening to halt CFTA’s vital services for women, children, and marginalized communities. It would have been easy to lose hope, but the team knew that giving up wasn’t an option; CFTA was founded over three decades ago by five Palestinian women activists to create a safe, nurturing environment for children—and that mission would persist. 

With extraordinary courage and resilience, the team rallied, establishing camps to shelter 600 displaced families who had nowhere else to turn. These families needed more than just a roof over their heads—they needed hope for the future. CFTA ensured that educational activities continued for the sheltering families. Colorful papers with crayon drawings now sprinkle the common areas, and the sound of children’s laughter can be heard once again. By keeping these children learning and dreaming, even as the world crumbled around them, CFTA keeps the hope for a better future alive. 

From extreme weather to severe political unrest, new crises have the potential to spawn every day. Through our #FeministCrisisResponse, Global Fund for Women will continue to respond to the world’s most urgent crises, and we will help our partners rebuild a more equitable future.
