🧸Toys for Smiles: Sharing Joy with the Children of Palestine

At Kites4Palestine, we believe that every child deserves the chance to experience the simple joys of play, no matter their circumstances. To bring smiles to the faces of children in Palestine, we are launching an initiative to collect and distribute toys gathered during vigils, memorials, and other events in the UK and beyond. These toys will provide moments of happiness and comfort to children who have endured the hardships of conflict.

From Vigils to Playgrounds

Last year, during a memorial event in London, generous individuals donated toys as a tribute to the children lost in Palestine. This heartfelt gesture inspired us to extend this initiative, ensuring these toys—and many more—find their way into the hands of children who need them most instead of being binned by the local councils. Through your continued support, we can transform these donations into cherished memories for Palestinian children.

How You Can Help

If you are organizing a vigil or memorial and wish to donate toys, we would be honored to facilitate their journey to Palestine. Whether you have a large collection of toys or just a few, you can:

  • Send Toys Directly to Us: We will handle all the logistics to ensure they reach children in Palestine and displaced Palestinian children around the world safely and promptly.
  • Arrange a Collection: If you need assistance with transporting a large number of toys, reach out to us, and we’ll work with you to make it happen.


We are committed to covering the costs of transporting and distributing these toys, ensuring they are delivered to children who will cherish them. These toys can also be incorporated into other community initiatives we support in Palestine, amplifying their impact and bringing even more joy to children in need.

Spreading Smiles, One Toy at a Time

By donating toys, you are not only sharing joy but also creating a connection of hope and compassion. These toys become a bridge between communities, symbolizing the love and support of people who stand in solidarity with Palestine.
