Holy Land Christian Ecumenical Foundation
(http://www.hcef.org)
HCEF is committed to the presence and well-being of Arab Christians in the Holy Land and
to developing the bonds of solidarity between them and Christians elsewhere. HCEF has a
variety of programs to help Christians that want to remain in the Holy Land that include
jobs, education, housing and other forms of support.
HCEF Senior Daycare Center (Birzeit)
The Birzeit Senior Daycare Center improves the living conditions of the elderly Christians
in and around Birzeit by providing day care services including nutrition, social, cultural,
psychological, physical and medical support services. Social customs in the West Bank are
for children to take care of their elderly parents; there are no government programs to help
the elderly. But with difficult living conditions, high unemployment rates and a shortage
of housing, many of the younger Christians are moving to other countries where they can find
employment and a better life. This often leaves the elderly vulnerable in their homes
struggling to survive on their own with diminishing capabilities and without an
infrastructure to assist them.
