As we enter the back-to-school season, the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem’s educational ministries across the Holy Land continue to stand as beacons of hope and opportunity for thousands of Palestinian children. In a region where conflict and uncertainty are daily realities, the diocese’s schools offer a safe haven for students to learn, grow, and dream of a brighter future.
The war in Gaza has been a sobering reminder of the fragility of that hope. Many schools in Gaza have been severely impacted by the war, with some being destroyed or repurposed for emergency shelters, leaving countless Palestinian children without access to the vital education they deserve. It is precisely in moments like these that your support becomes most crucial–your generosity can empower these children to receive the tools they need to achieve their full potential, even as obstacles threaten their learning and their childhood.
Education is more than just a pathway to knowledge; it is the foundation for peace, justice, and freedom. By supporting Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem schools, you help build a future where all young people are equipped to overcome the challenges of their environment and contribute to a more peaceful and just society.
Right now, AFEDJ urgently needs your support directed to “where the need is greatest,” which is essential for helping diocesan schools adapt and respond to the immediate challenges they face. You can play a direct role in helping schools continue their mission of offering hope and education to children in the midst of crisis.
