The Cause: PCRF
All proceeds from Refugee Awareness Week 24 will go to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund (PCRF).
PCRF was established in 1992 by concerned humanitarians in the USA to bring injured and sick children free medical care they could not get locally. PCRF has pledged to provide medical and humanitarian relief collectively and individually to Arab children throughout the Levant, regardless of their nationality, politics, or religion. PCRF’s dedication has provided children displaced by war and conflict with much needed medical support. To find out more about PCRF’s operations: https://www.pcrf.net/about-us
