Charities to assist Palestinian children affected by the hostilities

[xmontrealer]

The New York Times article I posted recently seems worthy of some belief, especially regarding the current leaders on both sides having little or no desire to achieve a peaceful and long-lasting 2 state solution. I posted the following in that thread, but so far no response from terb members:

I would like to make a significant donation to provide some assistance to the innocent Palestinian children who have been severely affected by the hostilities. So far my research has only found the PCRF, the Palestine Children's Relief Fund, based in the US. I will make a donation to them assuming the money does not go to Hamas. Any thoughts on the suitability of the PCRF for that cause, or an equivalent Canadian charity?

BTW Canadians can get Canadian tax deductions for donations made to US charities, providing you have US income, and the donation does not exceed 75% of that US net income as reported on your Canadian income tax return.

Of course if said charities are tied to hamas in any way that means you’ve donated money to terrorism which is a criminal offense

Understood. Will research this very carefully before acting.

Good on you, Beit Zatoun used to run a charity in Toronto, not sure who else is right now.

World Vision. You can specifically mention about supporting a child in Palestine.
I have been sponsoring one girl from there when was very young indeed. She is now going to High School and hopefully she does get a wonderful career. She loves Science and has ambitions to be a doctor one day.
World Vision definitely does not funnel any money to Hamas.
