Four Badges - Four families
Gazan children are drawing
to support their families.
We are a small, non-profit organisation, based in France, working with four families living in Gaza. We have known each family for one to two years and stay in contact weekly.
One child from each family created a drawing, which we turned into merchandise (badges, t-shirts, bags and mugs) for sale, with all profits going to the families.
These young artists drew their destroyed homes from memory or depicted their current lived experience.
Ayla, now 4 years old, created her drawing with the help of her mother Shatha. Her brother, Nafeth, is just two and was born into war. Ayla is too young to remember their house in North Gaza, which is sadly now destroyed and inaccessible. They live in a burnt out, crumbling flat, with walls on the verge of collapse.

Yazeed is 12 years old. He drew his destroyed home from memory. Yazeed loves drawing and inventing, recycling rubbish into board games to play with his two brothers. The family lives in Gaza City, near the rubble of their home. His mother, Maysaa, is a doctoral student in Crisis and Disaster Management. She must complete this via distance learning, as the university has been destroyed.

Mohammed is 9 years old, from Gaza City. His mother, Rana, writes, ‘Mohammed has drawn Gaza City as he dreams of seeing it, free from destruction, with intact buildings, paved streets, clear skies free of the smoke of bombing, and the beautiful sea of Gaza.’ The oldest of 3 siblings, he wants to be an engineer like his father. Since October 2023 this young family has been displaced multiple times.

Ahmed, 10 years old and his brother Zain, 8 years old, live with their older brother and sister in a tent in the South of Gaza. The family has been displaced more than 10 times in the 12 years I have known them. This family of 11 has been living in a tent for over a year now, with no proper bathroom and only a fire to cook on.
Ahmed and Zain found a tiny piece of chalk and a plank of wood for the fire, and made this drawing about their life.
