Our Vision:

Our Mission:
We provide safe tent classrooms, and quality education to Gaza’s children affected by war. We also provide much-needed professional psychological support.
By fostering resilience and hope, we empower youth, reignite joy, and contribute to rebuilding a resilient community. We will work against the odds & logistical challenges to bring hope & smiles back to their faces. has the opportunity to thrive.
Gaza Great Minds Started as a Dream.
And very quickly became a reality.
A group of teachers wanted to reignite learning after their educational center was bombed and demolished.
They funded the setup of a tent to provide free education to 50 students.
On May 7, 2024, the group, led by the talented and extremely dedicated teacher Mr. Ahmed Abu Riziq from Gaza, met with activists from around the world who agreed to advocate for the tent school project to help raise awareness and funds.
That was the beginning of Gaza’s Great Minds.

Amidst The War & Beyond
Due to border restrictions and lack of aid entering Gaza, we are working and planning on three phases:
1. Buying locally available nutrition and educational supplies.
2. Sending supplies through Rafah crossing (once reopened).
3. Obtaining donated digital equipment & educational supplies post-war.

The GGM Family
Mr. Ahmed is supported on the ground by a highly motivated team which includes an Arabic teacher, an English teacher, a Math teacher, a child psychologist, and 2 teacher assistants.
They commenced teaching on 14.05.2024


Ahmed is also supported by a talented team of volunteers worldwide who manage the project’s fundraising, social media, and web presence.

The Students
Currently, GGM is operating 5 tent schools in Gaza, three in the North and one in the South.

We started on 14 May 2024 with the first tent in the North of Gaza, The Start date for the second tent in the south of Gaza was: 1 July 2024. The number of students is growing daily and we support over 1180 students as of writing.

Classes are divided by the children’s ages and abilities starting with Ages 3 to 16 Years Old.

Extracurricular Activity
In addition to the educational & psychotherapy tents in the North, GGM recently added a playground.

Art, music, dance & games allow the children to express themselves creatively. Play is important to their well-being and for processing trauma.
