Dear Friends and Supporters,

2018 was a year of many challenges and successes in the PCRF, as we continued to grow while addressing the basic humanitarian needs of sick and injured children throughout the Middle East. Over the past 26 years, we have saved the lives of thousands of children, built two pediatric cancer departments, sponsored hundreds of volunteer medical teams from all over the world to treat tens of thousands of sick and injured children in local hospitals, sent over two thousand sick and injured children abroad for free care that they could not get locally, provided tens of thousands of needy children direct humanitarian aid, and empowered thousands of volunteers in dozens of countries to get involved and help us to grow into one of the most important and effective organizations in the world.

Our effectiveness in helping to save the lives of hundreds of poor children in the Middle East each year is matched by the efficiency with which we operate. For seven straight years, we have received the highest rating from Charity Navigator, four out of four stars. As their CEO Michael Thatcher said, "This is our highest possible rating and indicates that your organization adheres to sector best practices and executes its mission in a financially efficient way."

This report will provide you a clear idea about the impact that we are having in the Middle East on the lives of sick and needy children.

PCRF is a privately-funded nonprofit, and we depend on the support of people like you all over the world to reach these children. We can only impact the lives of children through contributions from individuals like yourself.

2018 was our most successful year ever in treating children and providing humanitarian aid to refugees all over the Middle East. 2019 will be another year in which we respond to the many humanitarian tragedies facing children in Palestine, Syria, Lebanon and Jordan, while at the same time building up the health sector in Palestine to reach a higher level of sustainability and efficiency. We hope you will continue to support our work and to ensure that no child goes untreated.

In Peace,

Dr. Khaled AbughazalehChairman of the Board

Steve SosebeePresident & CEO

Medical Missions 2018

PCRF is the main organization in the Middle East arranging free medical care for sick and injured children who cannot be treated in their home countries. We thank the hundreds of foreign doctors and nurses who volunteered to travel to the Middle East with us in 2018, away from their homes and families, to treat thousands of our children, and also train local medical staff. We sponsored 160 volunteer missions in 2018, providing over 9,400 children the expert medical care they otherwise would not get locally.

Gaza Pediatric Mental Health Program

This is a Gaza-only initiative that was organized as an early response to the war in 2014, when tens of thousands of Gaza children were psychologically traumatized from direct exposure to violence. In 2018 our focus was to help train local Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) to help respond to this crisis facing children in Gaza.

Lebanon Refugee Camp Nursery Nutritional Program

This program targets refugee children living in Lebanon’s camps who often suffer from poor nutrition due to theor political and economic status, by providing them milk and other support during their time in these nurseries.



Pediatric Cancer DepartmentHuda Al Masri Pediatric Cancer Department - Bethlehem

In 2013 the PCRF opened the first public pediatric cancer department in Beit Jala Hospital in Bethlehem District, in the name of our founding head social worker, Huda Al Masri. The department has since provided hundreds of children from the occupied territories free care for cancer without having to cross checkpoints and to suffer separation from their families.



Pediatric Cancer DepartmentDr. Musa and Suhaila Nasir Pediatric Cancer Department - Gaza

In January 2016, PCRF launched a new project to provide free cancer care for sick children living under occupation and closure in the Gaza Strip. Named after our two co-founding members, the 16 room department will ensure that children with cancer in Gaza get expert care and treatment without having to cross checkpoints and suffer separation from their families.


New ProjectsPediatric Cardiology Department

Hundreds of children each year in Palestine are born with congenital heart disease which cannot be treated locally due to the lack of specialized services. In 2019, PCRF will start building a new pediatric cardiology department at the Bahraini Hospital at the Palestine Medical Complex in Ramallah. This new department will enable treatment for hundreds of Palestinian children with congenital heart disease.



New ProjectsPediatric Intensive Care Department

In 2019, PCRF will break ground on building a new 14-bed pediatric ICU at the Bahraini Hospital in the Palestine Medical Complex in Ramallah. This new PICU will more than double the number of existing beds in the public hospitals in the West Bank and enable sick and injured children to have access to specialized ICU care that they currently have to leave their families to obtain.
