Palestine Children's Relief Fund
The Palestine Children's Relief Fund (PCRF) is a non-profit, non-political organization established in 1991. The primary mission of the PCRF is to address the medical and humanitarian needs of Palestinian children in the Middle East. The organization provides free medical care to children who are unable to access the necessary treatment within their home countries.
History[edit | edit source]
The PCRF was founded by Steve Sosebee and Huda Al-Masri in response to the urgent medical needs of Palestinian children affected by the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Since its inception, the organization has expanded its services to include children from other countries in the region, such as Lebanon, Jordan, and Syria.
Programs and Services[edit | edit source]
The PCRF operates several key programs aimed at improving the health and well-being of children in the Middle East:
Medical Missions[edit | edit source]
The PCRF organizes volunteer medical missions, bringing teams of specialized doctors and surgeons from around the world to provide free medical care. These missions often include complex surgeries that are not available locally.
Humanitarian Projects[edit | edit source]
The organization undertakes various humanitarian projects, including the provision of medical supplies, equipment, and infrastructure improvements to local hospitals and clinics.
Sponsorship Programs[edit | edit source]
The PCRF runs sponsorship programs to support children with chronic illnesses or disabilities. These programs provide financial assistance for ongoing medical care, rehabilitation, and other essential needs.
Summer Camps[edit | edit source]
The PCRF organizes summer camps for children with special needs, offering them a chance to enjoy recreational activities and receive psychosocial support.
Impact[edit | edit source]
The PCRF has made a significant impact on the lives of thousands of children in the Middle East. By providing access to medical care and humanitarian aid, the organization has helped to improve the health outcomes and quality of life for many children in the region.
Governance[edit | edit source]
The PCRF is governed by a board of directors and relies on the support of volunteers and donors from around the world. The organization is headquartered in Kent, Ohio, with additional offices in the Middle East.
