During our pause, we even had to suspend one of our lowest-cost initiatives: free haircuts for children. Support please: chuffed.org/project/113222-t… How do we explain to a child that even a haircut costing only a couple of dollars had to stop because donations were not coming in? On August 31, we were finally able to return to Issa Murad Camp in North Gaza and provide free haircuts for 75 children. The entire initiative cost just $184 after commission. These children are living among displacement, exposed sewage, inadequate shelter, and constant deprivation. A haircut may seem small compared with everything they are enduring, but hygiene, dignity, and simply feeling cared for still matter. Please don’t let us have to tell them again that even this had to stop.

A simple haircut becomes a luxury when you’re living through genocide, especially for people with disabilities. Supporter mobile barber here: chuffed.org/project/113222-t… Gaza’s rubble-filled roads and destroyed infrastructure make something as ordinary as getting a haircut incredibly difficult for those with limited mobility. That’s why The Sameer Project brings free Mobile Barbershop services directly into displacement camps, ensuring that children and people with disabilities aren't deprived of basic personal care and dignity. On October 15, our team visited Issa Murad Camp in North Gaza, providing free haircuts to 75 individuals for just around $180 including the 11% transfer fee. This father explains how difficult it is to navigate the destroyed roads with his son and a neighbor with special needs, and how much this simple initiative means to them. Humanitarian aid isn't just about food, water, and medicine. It's also about restoring the everyday dignity that genocide has stripped away.
