Our projects
We follow the need, and safeguard the balance
Our projects for children in Gaza, the West Bank and Israel.
Our projects follow the need. At present, that need is greatest among Palestinian children. At the same time, we are exploring cooperation with Israeli partners; that exploration is still ongoing. We do not compare suffering: it is us and them, not us or them. The mission above comes before every project.
We organise our projects by theme, not by country. This lets us respond to opportunities where they arise, while our balanced mission remains the starting point.

Connection on the Israeli side (being explored)
