Ensuring Quality Education for the Palestinian Orphans

213 orphans were supported through this project. The social aspect of the project has contributed in building an understanding and rapprochement between the patrons and the beneficiaries. In addition to that, from an economic point of view, the monthly gift could reduce the burden on the families by diverting the allocation budget for education to the basic needs. Furthermore, from an educational point of view, the project contributed to the orphans’ access to free educational services such as school fees, transportation, stationary, and academic developments. Besides, from the health perspective, the orphans are able to enjoy the privilege of having free health treatments, easy access to medicines, and psychological counseling.

MyFundAction standard social value is RM 1.18 for every RM 1.00 invested to support the Palestinian orphans. Another project that will be established in the future is to build a small clinic in Om Al Khair district to ease the community to reach the healthcare service faster.

Improvement on Academic Report and the Third Disbursement of Scholarships

In May, our team in Palestine who is handling the project to support the education of Palestinian orphans was preparing the second virtual meeting session between the Palestinian children and the patrons. The session will be conducted every Sunday starting from June to September.

In addition to that, based on the survey given to the patrons, 82% of the patrons who were supporting the project agreed to continue supporting the project for the second year. The patrons could keep track on the orphans’ academics performance to ensure their education development. The 3rd transaction phase was on the 12th of May, 2022, with a total amount of USD 31, 950. MyFundAction standard social value is RM 1.18 for every RM 1.00 invested to support Palestinian orphans.

Through the monthly monetary assistance, most of the orphans now could fulfill the attendance of more than 90%.

This is the reply from one of the patrons in response towards the shared academic report of the orphan he supported and his private messages to him.

The Beginning of a Bonding Relationship between the Patrons and the Orphans from the Second Virtual Meeting Conducted

Alhamdulillah, starting in the middle of June, we began conducting two sessions of virtual meetings every Sunday to connect the patrons with the 35 Palestinian orphans. This will enable direct communication and close relationship among them.

The virtual meeting session will continue to be conducted until September. Both patrons and the orphans enjoyed the moment immensely after the first virtual meeting last June 2021. More than 70% of the patrons willingly want to continue in supporting the orphans for the second year, as we believe by ensuring quality education today means less suffering tomorrow. MyFundAction standard social value remains RM 1.18 for every RM 1.00 invested to support the parentless Palestinian children.

A Doctor Supported Palestine’s Future Doctor and the Final Disbursement of the Scholarships

In order to connect the patrons with the orphans, there were 50 Palestinian orphans who participated in the virtual meeting sessions every Sunday in July. MyFundAction standard social value increased to RM 24.29 for every RM 1.00 invested to support the Palestinian Orphans. The image below shows the dialogue session between the patron and the Palestinian orphan, who dreams of becoming a doctor just like the patron. This is one of the inspiring stories of the month. Besides, MyFundAction disbursed the final phase of the transaction on the 25th of July, 2022 in the total amount of USD 33, 450.
