The Palestine Save the Children Foundation (PSCF) was established in l999 as a Palestinian, national, non-governmental organization to promote education, women rights, water and environmental health, agricultural and youth development and human rights. The purpose of PSCF is to enable women and children in Palestinian refugee camps and other disadvantaged Communities in Gaza/West Bank to develop and improve their lives economically, socially, and educationally and health by working in partnership with their families and with the communities in which they live. OFID financially assisted two projects with a total budget of US$560,000: 1. "I see and hear you project for needy children", which improved the living conditions of the sight and hearing impairments of preschool and school children in Gaza; and 2. "Enhancing the children's recreational and cultural abilities to contribute in the local community" by enhancing the children's educational, recreational and cultural abilities to contribute in the local community through drama and puppet shows, artistic works, recreational and cultural competitions, trips and exhibitions.
