About us

We are Friends of the Holy Land, and we care for Christians living with extreme suffering and injustice in Palestine (West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza), Jordan and Israel.  Providing immediate relief and long-term practical support, so that they can remain in the land of their birthright and have hope to survive and thrive.

We are guided by Christian virtues of love and justice, we do this through practical means, by raising awareness and through prayer, as Christ taught.

At the beginning of the 20th century, Christians made up roughly 29% of the overall population of the Holy Land. Today they account for less than 2%. Those remaining face such difficult conditions that many will be forced to leave their homes. Soon this dwindling community may cease to exist at all without our help. This fact, little recognised by Christians around the world, is what drives our vision.

FHL provides practical assistance with everyday living costs. We help people access healthcare and education; and to start and grow businesses. Currently, we are also providing humanitarian aid.  Every single day, we aim to provide opportunity and hope.

We are on the ground and deeply connected to these communities. Our local network, rooted in this ancient Christian community, really understand the existing needs. Our committee and staff team in the West Bank as well as our partners in Gaza, Israel and Jordan identify families in need of help and ensure your donations go directly and quickly to them.

At the very heart of what we do every day is to provide opportunity and hope. We are a community of Christians united in supporting our brothers and sisters in the birthplace of our faith.

Friends of the Holy Land embraces and supports all Christians in the Holy Land. We connect them to a worldwide community of Christians and people of good will who care.

By supporting us, you’ll join a community of Christians united in support of our brothers and sisters in the birthplace of our faith. Helping them to remain and thrive. From your heart to the heart of Christianity
