In 2024, families across Gaza faced a severe shortage of baby formula, leaving many infants at risk during an already devastating humanitarian crisis. Through our on-the-ground teams and partners, Hanan Relief Group was able to procure and distribute more than 40,000 cans of baby formula to hospitals, shelters, and displaced families caring for infants across Gaza.

These distributions provided critical nutritional support to thousands of babies during a time when access to even the most basic necessities had become extremely limited. Behind every can of formula was a family fighting to survive.

As part of our work supporting widows and orphans in Jordan, Hanan Relief Group focused not only on immediate relief, but on creating long-term pathways toward dignity and self-sufficiency. Through vocational training programs and small business support, we helped women develop skills that would allow them to generate sustainable income and support their families.

One of these projects was the opening of a women’s hair salon; a space created to provide opportunity, stability, and hope for mothers working to rebuild their lives.

At the salon’s opening, the children of these women surprised our team with a beautiful reception to celebrate the occasion. Their joy and gratitude were a powerful reminder that empowering a mother uplifts an entire family and creates lasting impact for the next generation.
