Supporting Palestinian Children: A Humanitarian Commitment

Ontario Tech's Pride Club is dedicated to humanitarian relief and supporting those in need. In light of recent concerns, we want to reaffirm our commitment to aiding children affected by conflict. This fundraiser directly supports the Palestinian Children’s Relief Fund, an organization providing vital medical care, humanitarian aid, and hope to children in Palestine. To amplify our impact, the first $175 CAD in donations will be matched, doubling the support for this critical cause. Our focus is, and always will be, on providing assistance to those who need it most. We invite you to stand with us in this effort—your support can make a real difference.

The PCRF is a legally-registered non-political, non-profit, 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization established in 1991 by concerned people to address the medical and humanitarian needs of Palestinian and Arab youths in the Middle East. We have provided thousands of children life-saving care based on their need, not on religion, gender, nationality or sect.

The main objective of the PCRF is to identify and treat every child in the Middle East in need of specialized surgery not available to them locally. We locate, sponsor and run international, volunteer medical missions to the Middle East, in additional to locating free medical care abroad for children who cannot be adequately treated in the Middle East. The PCRF  is the main organization regularly sending injured and sick Arab children to North and South America, the Middle East and Europe for free care that is not available to them there. Since 1991 over 1,000 children have been abroad for millions of dollars of donated care, and over 10,000 have had complex surgery by our visiting medical missions to the region. The PCRF has been awarded the top 4-star rating by Charity Navigator for fiscal management, while being able to treat more kids than any other charity in the Middle East.
