Mission and Objectives

The mission of Palestine Save the Children Foundation (PSCF) is to enable the women and children in Palestinian refugee camps and other disadvantaged Communities in Gaza/West Bank to develop and improve their lives economically, socially, and educationally and health by working in partnership with their families and with the communities in which they live. PSCF seeks to develop skills and promote behavior that will endure, and thus ensure positive ongoing changes in the lives of Palestinian children to help them to strengthen their community, to educate their parents; and to encourage gender equality.
