Children Not Numbers is a medico-legal NGO dedicated to supporting the children of Gaza through medical evacuations, rehabilitation, advocacy, and education.

While the ceasefire has paused 15 months of devastation, the humanitarian crisis persists, and our work remains as critical as ever. Children still need urgent medical care, long-term rehabilitation, and a global community advocating for their rights.

Key Deliverables

• Develop and maintain a weekly content calendar for Instagram, LinkedIn, and TikTok, in line with agreed priorities.
• Create and schedule engaging content, including written posts, graphics, and short-form videos that support fundraising and advocacy efforts.
