Through Family Sponsorship, your family now has
the unique opportunity to help alleviate the
suffering of impoverished families in Gaza Strip,
Palestine, and show solidarity to those who are
impacted the most by the dire humanitarian
crisis. Family sponsorship is a community devel
opment initiative that aims to change lives by
delivering long-lasting, self-sustaining
improvements to help lift generations out of
poverty. Your sponsorship will empower parents
and children caught in the cycle of poverty.
With your support of 3 per day, delivered in d
irect monetary assistance, you are giving your
sponsored family the option of sustaining
essential life needs, be it food, health,
education or merely coming out of crisis.
Your own family will experience the joy of buil
ding bridges with your sponsored family as you
begin to build a relationship with them. Your
children will learn invaluable lessons about
caring, sharing and selfless kindness. You will
have the option of contacting your sponsored
family, and even visiting them as a show of your
solidarity with their struggle for dignity,
national and human rights. Family-to-Family sp
onsorship aims to alleviate the suffering of
impoverished families, and provide minimum
support to the family unit to sustain itself.
How much is received by the family from the
sponsored amount? The only deductions from the s
ponsored amount would be the share of Wire
Transfer fees (estimated at 4), PayPal
transaction charge (estimated at 3),
Administration charge of 5.00 for Al-Karmel, and
local administrative expenses of 3.00, for each
100 family sponsorship. Our program relies
highly on volunteers and your support. The
family should receive an average amount of 85
per 100 donation.   How long will my sponsorshi
p last? Your sponsorship can last several months
or many years. The goal of the Family
Sponsorship Project is to bring your sponsored
family and their community to health and
self-reliance so they can step confidently into
the future and survive the hard conditions under
siege and under occupation. The campaign will
continue to expand to serve other communities in
desperate need of help. You will be given the
opportunity to sponsor a different family in a
new community. How do I contact to my sponsore
d family? Will I hear from my sponsored family?
Once you become a sponsor, we will provide you
with contact information for the family if they
have own telephone. Otherwise, Al-Karmel Hanan
Associations will arrange for an appointment for
you to speak to the family at their offices. You
will also be able to write letters to the
families, and receive letters back from them.
Please allow time for translation arrangements if
needed. What do we receive when we become a spo
nsoring family? In addition to your familys pro
file, you will also receive a welcome letter, a
brochure explaining the program, and quarterly
receipts. We will also provide contact
information to the sponsored family and a
semi-annual receipt from the family of the amount
received. An annual progress report with an
updated photo (optional) will also detail how
your support is benefiting your sponsored family.
What is the Family to Family Sponsorship
Program? You and your family would financially s
ponsor a family in a Palestinian refugee camp,
primarily in Gaza Strip, on a monthly, quarterly,
semi-annual or annual basis. The sponsored family
would receive the donation in direct financial
assistance. Are tax deduction receipts availab
le? Tax deduction receipts are only available in
the U.S. Depending on the program selection, tax
deduction receipts are processed by the U.S.
partners Al-Awda New York, or New Jersey
Solidarity. Both are tax-exempt, non-profit
organizations. You should feel secure about
helping Palestinian families through the
Palestinian Refugee Support Network. Al-Karmel
and Hanan are independent Palestinian
non-governmental organizations that have worked
with and received financing from major
international institutions, and engage in the
strictest accounting practices, ensuring that
your donation goes directly to needy families.
All monies are disbursed fully in accordance with
all U.S. laws and regulations.
How much does a family need? An Al-Karmel Cult
ural Association assessment states that a family
needs 200 per month to minimally survive poverty
and siege. The 100 were offering will allow the
family to cope partially, and allow us to bring
assistance to more families.
