RISING DREAMS

Everest for Gaza – April 2026

#JoinTheClimb

In April 2026, Mostafa Salameh will climb Mount Everest — not for personal glory, not for a summit photo, but to carry something far more powerful: The dreams of Gaza's children.

This expedition, titled Rising Dreams, is a global call to humanity. It is a journey from the rubble of war to the roof of the world, from silence to voice, from survival to hope.

The Mission

Mostafa, a Palestinian refugee born to displaced parents, has spent his life climbing the highest mountains on Earth. Yet one dream remains unfulfilled: to enter Palestine freely and visit Gaza. He has been denied that right.

So instead, Gaza will come with him.

Three children from Gaza will be selected to represent thousands. Through film, storytelling, and global meetings, they will share their dreams, their drawings, their hopes and their truth.

Mostafa will carry their dreams physically to the summit of Everest.

From Gaza to 8,848 meters above sea level, their voices will rise higher than politics, higher than walls, higher than war.

Why This Matters

Gaza is home to one of the largest populations of child amputees in the world today. Thousands of children have lost limbs due to ongoing conflict. Tens of thousands are injured, traumatized, and in urgent need of medical care, prosthetics, rehabilitation, psychological support, and long-term recovery programs.

This campaign aims to raise $10,000,000 USD.

All funds will go directly toward:

• Advanced prosthetics for child amputees

• - Reconstructive and life-saving surgeries

• - Medical evacuations where needed

• - Trauma and psychological rehabilitation

• - Education support for displaced children

• - Long-term medical and humanitarian care

This is not symbolic fundraising. This is life-changing intervention.

The Documentary

The entire expedition will be professionally filmed — from preparation to summit — telling the story of the three children and their dreams, their artwork and messages carried to Everest, global leaders and communities they will meet, the journey of a refugee climbing for his people, and a world invited to stand together for children.

The documentary will ensure transparency, global reach, and continued awareness long after the summit.

The Story Behind Rising Dreams

The Rising Dreams logo represents movement upward — like prayer flags in the wind, like a heartbeat rising, like a flag carried through storm.

The Palestinian colors embedded in the expedition suit symbolize dignity, resilience, and identity.

This climb is not about division. It is about children. It is about restoring limbs, futures, and dignity. It is about proving that even from the deepest devastation… dreams can rise.

Join The Climb

You may never stand on Everest. But you can help a child stand again.

You may never face the death zone. But you can help a child breathe easier.

Every donation is a step toward the summit. Every share is a rope fixed higher. Every voice matters.

Together, we rise. Together, we carry their dreams.
