Spafford Children's Center Association        
  Frequently Asked Questions
 
  Who comes to Spafford Children's Center
Since 1925, we've served children and families from greater Jerusalem and the West Bank.  Most of our patients come from poor Palestinian families, whose lives are especially difficult in the current political turmoil. This year, we'll serve about 30,000 children, ranging from prenatal to age 16.  We will also offer support and educational programs for their mothers.

In addition to providing healthcare and child development services, Spafford Children's Center sets an important example of peace and goodwill.  Our staff and volunteers represent an international community: Palestinian and Israeli, as well as individuals from many countries around the world.

  Are you a not-for-profit organization?
Yes. Spafford Children's Center Association is a 501(c) (3) organization.  We were established in 1931 to enable our American friends to financially support Spafford Children's Center through a federally approved, tax exempt charity. Gifts to Spafford Children's Center are tax deductible by law.  We depend on contributions to continue our work.
