The UPA Children’s Fund works to foster a nurturing and stimulating environment for children – including those with special needs – that allows them to realize their full potential. Palestinian children in the occupied territories face multiple challenges: poverty, malnutrition, anemia, and difficulty getting to and from school because of the Israeli occupation. Palestinian children in the refugee camps of Jordan and Lebanon face realities that are just as harsh.
The Children’s Fund works in cooperation with reputable organizations throughout Palestinian communities to support educational, health & nutrition and recreational projects.
