Child
Sponsorship Program
In
response to the deepening economic and social crisis in Palestine,
the PCRF launched a new program in the first half of 2002
to provide humanitarian assistance to needy children with
disabilities, whose families are too poor to provide them
the medicine or care that they need. There are currently thousands
of sick and injured Arab children in the Middle East suffering
from mental or physical handicaps and who are unable to receive
the necessary care they need to function normally in society.
With the current deterioration of the economic and social
situation in Palestine, it has become more and more difficult
for poor families to provide these children with the medical
care that they badly need. The PCRF's new "Child Sponsorship
Program" is designed to provide these sick and injured
children support by matching them with donors and sponsors
who will help cover the costs of such humanitarian things
as medication, therapy, and schooling.
This project is one of the first to give donors the ability
to help and witness the progress of an individual child. The
sponsorship of every child is a one year agreement which is
renewable at the end of the sponsorship period. Each sponsor
is given a personal file and photo of the child they are sponsoring,
including a medical and social report, as well as quarterly
progress reports illustrating how their contribution has helped
the child. 100% of the sponsor's funds go directly
to the child's care and constant follow-ups by PCRF social
workers ensure that the funds are used for the stated humanitarian
purposes. We currently have dozens of sick and injured
Arab children waiting for a sponsor to enable them to overcome
their disabilities. If you are interested in sponsoring a
child through our "Child Sponsorship Program" please
