Abdalqader’s story
Sunbola Learning Private School A registered private school in Central Gaza providing education free of charge to 650 children, combining learning recovery, psychosocial support and child protection in a tented school. Ministry of Education Reg. No. 35338947 · valid until 31 August 2027
A school built in tents, for children who could not wait
Sunbola Learning Private School was established in early January 2026 as an individual educational initiative to support children affected by conflict and difficult living conditions in Gaza. Although registered as a private school, education is currently provided free of charge because of the humanitarian situation. The school helps children continue learning, address learning gaps, develop their abilities and talents, strengthen confidence, and access a safe and supportive educational environment. It currently serves children from KG2 through Grade 9.
Eight reasons the school opened its doors
- Help children return to education after periods of interruption.
- Address learning gaps and strengthen foundational skills.
- Provide a safe and supportive learning environment.
- Provide psychosocial support to children.
- Identify and develop children's talents and abilities.
- Strengthen children's confidence and motivation to learn.
- Provide educational opportunities for children facing particular barriers.
- Support teachers in developing experience in education in emergencies.
The school operates in a challenging humanitarian context. Classrooms are established in tents and basic services are limited, which is why improving the learning environment is a core part of any partnership.
