Peaches&Creme WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT those who are affected by the conflict in Gaza.
Urgent: Israel-Gaza emergency appeal
Join us in supporting the ICRC as they continue to do everything within their power to support people affected by the conflict, including trying all possible means to get aid, including critical health care, into Gaza, and persistently advocating on behalf of hostages being held in Gaza.
Peaches&Creme started this initiative in October 2023 and we will continue donating part of the proceeds of our sales 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 ICRC has been present in Israel and the occupied territories since 1967 and have offices in Tel Aviv, Gaza, and across the West Bank, including East Jerusalem. They carry out our work in coordination with partners such as the Palestine Red Crescent Society and Magen David Adom in Israel. This includes coordinating humanitarian activities, exchanging technical knowledge, and providing support to respond to urgent needs.
The ICRC has been present in Israel and the occupied territories (including the Golan, West Bank and Gaza Strip, and Shebaa Farms) since 1967. As a neutral, impartial and independent humanitarian organisation, they promote compliance with international humanitarian law (IHL) and work to mitigate the impact of armed conflict, other violence and occupation on civilians through our protection activities and assistance programmes.
For example, the ICRC visits detainees in Israeli and Palestinian places of detention and strives to maintain family links through the Family Visit Programme. They also support projects throughout the occupied Palestinian territory that help people earn a livelihood and help those in Gaza to improve their access to essential services like water and electricity.
Above all, they stand up for people impacted by conflict and promote their rights and dignity. They consistently remind parties to the conflict of their obligations under IHL though bilateral and confidential dialogue.
(See the work they do in Israel and Occupied Territories here).
Our support today can make a life-saving difference – protecting and saving the lives of victims of armed conflict and violence. In an ever more violent world, you will give hope to people whose lives have been torn apart by war. Your donation will help give food and safe drinking water, provide shelter and health care, and reunite families separated by conflict.

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. 💪
