About Holy Child of Bethlehem

Supporting Christian Families
in the Birthplace of Christ

The Child of Bethlehem Foundation was established to support vulnerable Christian families in Bethlehem, Beit Sahour, and Beit Jala — the heart of the Christian presence in the Holy Land and the birthplace of Jesus Christ.

According to recent data, the Christian population in the Palestinian territories has declined dramatically over the past decades, largely due to economic hardship and emigration. Preserving the living Christian presence in the land where Christianity was born is therefore both a humanitarian and spiritual responsibility.

Our foundation works to strengthen families so they can remain rooted in their homeland with dignity, hope, and opportunity.
