While our foundation is dedicated to all children with orthopedic conditions across the Middle East, our primary focus has been on the overwhelming need for orthopedic management in children in Gaza and Palestine. Given the ongoing humanitarian and medical needs, our focus will likely remain the same in the coming years.

Organizations or partners seeking assistance are encouraged to contact us for further discussion on potential projects aligned with our mission.

Many donors have specific ideas about how their donated funds should be used. The preference can be regional or for a specific type of condition. For example, donors might prefer to buy surgical instruments to facilitate surgery or cover the treatment of a specific child.

If you have a specific idea of how your donation money should be spent, please discuss this with one of our trustees.

Any contacts or assistance in these areas is welcome and greatly appreciated.
