In 2024, Peaches&Creme WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT those who are affected by the conflict in Gaza.
Peaches&Creme started this initiative in October 2023 and we will continue donating part of the proceeds of our sales during 2024 to ICRC to help those civilians, including babies and children, suffering as a result of the rising conflict and violence in the region.
People caught in rising violence in Israel and Gaza urgently need our help. The continued escalation in fighting is putting lives at risk. Help us support ICRC to help protect and save lives.
The hostilities that broke out Saturday 7 October 2023 are at a level that we have not seen in many years. They have the potential to cause even more suffering to civilians on both sides. As deadly fighting between Israel and Hamas intensifies, so too does a dire humanitarian crisis in the area.
Hundreds have been killed and thousands injured in Israel and Gaza after Hamas launched unprecedented attacks on Israel Saturday. Subsequent airstrikes have overwhelmed local hospitals, and it is estimated that more than 180,000 people are displaced within the Gaza strip, one of the most densely populated areas on Earth.

The ICRC has been present in Israel and the occupied territories since 1967. As a neutral, independent, humanitarian organization, the ICRC visits detainees in Israeli and Palestinian places of detention. They also help improve access to essential services like water and electricity in Gaza and support livelihood projects throughout the occupied territories.
Our support today can make a life-saving difference – protecting and saving the lives of victims of armed conflict and violence. Find out how you can donate directly here.

MARCH 2024 IS INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S MONTH
Time is running out. Gender equality remains the greatest human rights challenge. Investing in women is a human rights imperative and cornerstone for building inclusive societies. Progress for women benefits us all.
Gender equality is not only a basic human right, but its achievement has enormous socio-economic ramifications. In a world facing multiple crises that are putting immense pressure on communities, ranging from geopolitical conflicts to soaring poverty levels and the escalating impacts of climate change, achieving gender equality is more vital than ever. Ensuring women’s and girls’ rights across all aspects of life is the only way to secure prosperous and just economies, and a healthy planet for future generations.
Empowering women fuels thriving economies, spurring productivity and growth. By investing in women, we can spark change and speed the transition towards a healthier, safer, and more equal world for all.
Investing in women and championing gender equality turbocharges a future where everyone in society can thrive, creating a world of boundless opportunity and empowerment for all.
This March 2024, we celebrate International Women's Month. Join us in championing gender equality and empowering women by investing in women. Peaches&Creme is donating a portion of our sales during the month of March 2024 to UN Women.
UN Women is the global champion for gender equality, for women and girls. It is the UN organization delivering programmes, policies and standards that uphold women’s human rights and ensure that every woman and girl lives up to her full potential.

Thank you for your support!
During 2023, we were able to support MaltaGayRights.org, UN Women, International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) Disaster Response Emergency Fund, UNHCR (The UN Refugee Agency), and The Skin Cancer Foundation. Together, we donated towards better awareness, rights advocacy, and support for our LGBTQ+ brothers and sisters, helped champion gender equality and empowered women, aided displaced families and refugees in Ukraine, Afghanistan, Syria and across the middle east through the harsh winter months, and supported thousands in Turkey and Syria affected by the humanitarian disaster caused by one of the strongest earthquakes to strike the area in more than a century.
In 2022, we were able to donate to World Central Kitchen, UNHCR (The UN Refugee Agency), Doctors Without Borders with your support. Together, our contribution has helped provide thousands of families fleeing or trapped in the Ukraine access to food, water, emergency supplies and essential services, and helped feed and support families affected by the famine crisis in Yemen. We were also able to donate to The Canopy Project to help rehabilitate the world's forests especially in high-risk areas, Europa Donna Malta in helping breast cancer survivors reclaim a positive body image and a healthy lifestyle, and also offers support for family and friends of patients and survivors, and Malta LGBTIQ Rights Movement so they can continue to provide various support services to LGBTQIA+ individuals and their families and friends.
We will continue to support efforts to aid global and social causes, as well as efforts to sustain and rehabilitate the environment to address the climate crisis. We hope you continue to join us. 💪
