About Us
The Elham Fund is a Palestinian-led Canadian non-for-profit.
To date the Elham Fund has raised and distributed CAD $20,000 in direct cash transfers, delivered needed supplies inaccessible through other means, and provided lifesaving chronic medications.
Who Was Elham Farah?
Elham Farah, fondly known as “Umm Orange,” was Gaza’s first music teacher.
From one of Gaza’s oldest Christian families, Elham’s life, spirit, and legacy touched thousands of people across the Gaza Strip.
She was murdered by an Israeli sniper in November 2023. She lay in the street for hours until she bled to death. She was just going to her home for warmer clothes.
Her death sent a ripple through the global Gazan community.
The Elham Fund was established by her remaining Canadian and Gazan family to continue the work she loved so much.

Join the Elham Fund
We are always looking for volunteers to help us support the families of Gaza. We need donors but we also need translators, writers and people to help us share these stories.
Be a Lifeline to Gaza
When you donate to the Elham Fund, 100% of your donation goes directly to families in Gaza.
We deploy your donations to Gaza using a whisper network of families, pharmacists, physicians, and aid agencies in Canada, Cairo, Rafah, and Gaza.
A monthly gift is essential to this support cycle. Gazan families connected to the Elham Fund rely on monthly gifts to deal with the realities of living in a war zone.
When medications or supplies are stolen, or aid workers are murdered, monthly gifts keep the supply of cash, food, supplies, and medicine going to where it is needed most: directly to Gazan families surviving under genocide.
This is only possible due to the late great Elham Farah's extensive connections across Gaza and the rest of the world.
