In the Holy Land, children are at the center of many of our projects. In a context marked by conflicts and difficulties, our commitment is to guarantee them a future of dignity, where education, psychological support and serenity can accompany them in their growth.
Investing in their well-being today means building a solid foundation for the future of these lands and the people who will live there. Because every child we help today contributes to shaping a more stable and prosperous tomorrow.
Bethlehem
In Bethlehem, our commitment to taking care of children, their needs and their physical and mental health is divided into numerous activities and projects, also conducted in collaboration with some local realities.
We promote the integration of children belonging to different cultural and religious communities, through collective activities that also bring them closer to the protection of the artistic and natural heritage of their country:
- field visits to discover places of historical and artistic interest;
- artistic activities that give voice to their emotions and dreams;
- sharing experiences such as cooking and eating all together.
We provide this type of support to children through our center in Dar Al Majus,
in collaboration with various realities.
The House of the Child
Inaugurated in September 2007, it has welcomed hundreds of children and adolescents from difficult backgrounds: their families are in fact unable or do not have the material possibilities to take care of them, and often this translates into violent family contexts or strongly tried by economic difficulties.
In the House these children find an environment of strong support, from study support to economic help to buy school materials, to play areas and collective sports, up to the psychological support provided by social workers.
The Hogar Niño Dios
This center specialized in rehabilitation and health care activities welcomes children suffering from serious physical diseases, who due to their disability are often seen as a burden by their families and their context.
Many of them have stories of violence and abandonment behind them, and a future without practical and constant support is unthinkable. In the Hogar, thanks to the specialized staff and the spaces, including a swimming pool opened last year, the warmth of affection and attention to the well-being of children and their serenity is added to the specific therapies.
