The humanitarian organization Friends of Palestine has introduced a Virtual Adoption Program to provide ongoing support for children in Gaza affected by war and poverty. This initiative aims to connect global donors with children in need through a transparent and compassionate sponsorship model.
Under the Virtual Adoption Program, donors can sponsor a child for $100 per month. The monthly contribution covers essential needs such as food, education, clothing, and healthcare. In addition, sponsors are given the opportunity to virtually connect with the child they support through scheduled video calls, fostering a sense of personal involvement and empathy.
According to Friends of Palestine, this initiative serves as a bridge for those who wish to make a real difference but are unable to travel to Gaza or engage in direct humanitarian work. The organization clarified that the program is not a legal adoption, but rather a virtual sponsorship, designed to provide consistent aid while respecting local family structures and legal restrictions.
The Virtual Adoption Program has received positive feedback for offering a sustainable model of support that maintains dignity and transparency. Unlike traditional adoption, which faces significant legal and ethical barriers in Palestine, this virtual sponsorship ensures that children remain within their communities while still receiving global support.
Friends of Palestine emphasized that the initiative follows UNICEF’s guidelines for child welfare, focusing on non-exploitative and ethical assistance. The program also encourages regular updates between sponsors and children, helping donors see the real-world impact of their contributions.
