Who we are
The Abu Dhabi Chapter of the PCRF was founded in January 2006 by a diverse group of people committed to making a difference to Arab children in need of life-saving medical care. Generally speaking, these children arrive from areas where political, economic and access limitations are a way of life.

Our Mission
The PCRF Abu Dhabi concentrates its efforts on sponsoring as many children as possible and providing them with comprehensive medical treatment. The Chapter also strives to enhance awareness of its goals and achievements whilst continuing to maintain an active network of doctors, host volunteers and families throughout the region. This network of key individuals is critical to the children who arrive to receive medical treatment in the UAE and neighboring countries.

Charity Efforts
Recently, under the patronage of His Excellency Sheikh Nahayan Mubarak Al Nahayan and the cooperation of the UAE Red Crescent, the PCRF Abu Dhabi coordinated two separate functions in Abu Dhabi and Sharjah. Both events, which featured the Palestine-based El Funoun Popular Dance Troupe, (www.el-funoun.org) were met with overwhelming success. Founded in 1979, the dance troupe from El Bireh, Palestine is widely recognized for its role in reviving indigenous folklore dance and music.

All proceeds from these events were dedicated to covering the transportation, living, and rehabilitation expenses of children sent abroad for free specialized medical care.
