Club for girls in Gaza raises spirits through art and culture

A girls’ club in central Gaza’s Deir al-Balah is providing a rare space of relief for teenagers who have endured years of conflict and displacement. The Voices of Tomorrow club hosts 60 girls aged 13 to 18, offering artistic and social activities designed to rebuild confidence and restore a sense of normalcy.

The programme focuses on teaching leadership, communication and management skills while helping participants reconnect after prolonged isolation and interrupted schooling. The club was created with limited resources, aiming to surround the girls with colour and creativity in contrast to the destruction outside.
