I’m Running a Marathon in Aid of Gaza Children’s Fund

Hi, my name is Melina Malone. I’m an artist from Dublin, Ireland and I will be running my first marathon on April 27th in Madrid in aid of the Gaza Children’s Fund.

The Gaza Strip has been under siege for over a decade, with a dangerous decline in the standard of living, unrelenting poverty and inadequate healthcare. Gaza is a continuing disaster zone.

Gaza Children’s Fund Inc. is a not for profit organisation founded in 2010, by a group of volunteers and social activists, to help address the issues concerning disadvantaged Palestinians.

The Gaza Children’s Fund supports sustainable development projects such as, schools, health clinics, community facilities, poultry farms, community water solutions, education, clothing and rehabilitation support for the psychological trauma and torment inflicted by the ongoing daily attacks.

Women and children in particular are supported through various initiatives and programs, seeking to

empower them and give them the opportunity to support themselves in a sustainable way.
