DUBAI: Children and families in Gaza will benefit from a new charitable initiative launched by American pop star Ariana Grande, whose newly established Brighter Days Ahead Foundation has awarded a grant to humanitarian organization Save the Children UK.
The nonprofit, which provides emergency assistance to children affected by conflict and crisis, said that the funding would be directed toward its relief efforts in Gaza.
The charity recently thanked Grande for a grant from the foundation, although the amount has not been disclosed. According to the organization, the funding will be directed toward relief efforts for children and families in Gaza.
In a statement, Save the Children UK said: “The money will go directly to children and families in Gaza, to help them through the unimaginably difficult situation they’ve been put in.”
The organization added that support from donations such as Grande’s has enabled it to expand its humanitarian response in the Palestinian territory.
“With funds like this, we’ve already reached 183,459 children with cash assistance, 83,000 children with health and nutrition support and 11,357 children with education programs,” the charity said.
The launch of Brighter Days Ahead marks Grande’s latest philanthropic initiative. The singer has previously supported a range of social causes, including mental health awareness. The new foundation is expected to provide grants to organizations working across several sectors, with a focus on communities affected by crisis, inequality and limited access to essential services.
