Providing short and long-term humanitarian assistance and development aid for the Palestinian people
Annual Goal: $49,000.00
Year to Date Gifts: $750.00
We will continue to provide resources for these needs through our on-going outreach and ministries. This project will enable us to continue to provide emergency humanitarian aid through financial help for food shortages, medical emergencies, and subsidies for electrical bills and school tuition fees. It will also provide job creation through micro-business grants which will enable some families to become self-sufficient. In Gaza, we will continue to provide medical aid in times of crisis. We will also continue our quarterly visits to Jordan to offer practical resources and encouragement to Syrian and Iraqi refugees who are staying there.
The Shepherd Society seeks to provide resources for low-income Palestinians and refugees through our on-going outreach and ministries. We provide emergency humanitarian aid through financial help for food shortages, medical emergencies, and subsidies for electrical bills and school tuition fees. We provide job creation through micro-business grants which will enable families to become self-sufficient. In Gaza, we continue to provide medical aid in times of crisis. We undertake quarterly visits to Jordan to offer practical resources and encouragement to Syrian and Iraqi refugees there. Through offering tangible assistance and ministry we aim to offer hope in the midst of violence, despair and hopelessness, lessening the suffering of those we are able to help, and helping some to get back on their feet.
Even as the political situation in the West Bank continues to deteriorate, we hope to bring a measure of hope and dignity to the families who come to us for assistance. We will continue to serve Christians and Muslims in Bethlehem and Gaza without discrimination, which helps to nurture good relations between Palestinians of different faith traditions. Specifically, we want to help relieve hunger and improve the health of Bethlehemites, and refugees in Jordan; and to create new micro-businesses which will contribute to the economy of our district and help families become self-sufficient. We also provide emergency assistance when it is needed in Gaza.
