HEAL Palestine Launches Swimming Program for Orphaned and Amputee Children in Gaza

Every donation is a step toward HEALing and empowering the children of Gaza. Thank you for supporting our mission!
HEAL Palestine has launched a new swimming program in Gaza for children from our Orphan and Amputee Programs, creating a safe space for movement, confidence, healing, and joy.
The program began in partnership with Tantish Swimming Academy Gaza, welcoming 36 children from Central Gaza in its first session. The group included 22 boys and 14 girls, all children who are living through the effects of injury, loss, displacement, and trauma.
For amputee children, swimming offers freedom of movement that can be difficult to experience on land. In the water, children can build strength, balance, coordination, and confidence while participating in an activity that feels playful and empowering. For orphaned children, the program also creates a supportive group environment where they can connect with peers, feel safe, and experience moments of normal childhood.
This initiative reflects HEAL Palestine’s holistic approach to care. Healing is not limited to medical treatment, prosthetics, or emergency aid. Children also need safe activities, emotional support, physical development, and opportunities to rediscover joy.
Through the swimming program, HEAL Palestine is helping children build resilience while giving them something every child deserves: the chance to learn, play, and feel free.
As the program continues, HEAL Palestine remains committed to supporting orphaned and amputee children in Gaza with care that reaches beyond survival and helps them move toward healing, confidence, and hope.
