Our Work

Since its inception in 1994, Interpal, in co-operation with other charitable organisations, has supported hundreds of projects in order to achieve its main objectives of alleviating poverty, providing health and medical care, advancing education and encouraging community development.

Together with our projects, we also run seasonal campaigns that take place every year. These include our Ramadan, ‘Eidul Adha and Educational appeals. For more information on our seasonal campaigns, please read our special page.

Humanitarian

Emergency Aid remains the focus of our expenditure through the swift and efficient provision of medical supplies, food, shelter and clothing. This extends to seasonal support during the Ramadan and Qurbani (sacrifice) periods of the Islamic calendar.

 

Medical
Lack of medical supplies and equipment has meant that hospitals, clinics and medical centers can be stretched beyond anywhere near full functionality. Interpal has distributed funds to these areas as well as supporting projects for the purchase of necessary medical equipment, setting up specialised medical units and providing healthcare subsidies to the poor and needy.

 

Educational
Through our dedication to educating and empowering individuals, we have dedicated significant effort in keeping children and students in education. This is through direct assistance to schools and universities, supporting needy students through the provision of school kits and financial aid ensuring they are able to continue their learning.

 

Community Development
Self-sufficiency and building towards the future is key for the development of any community. Interpal has recognised this as being especially important for Palestine and has been working to develop and sustain sites of religious and cultural importance in order to protect the heritage of Palestine. This also includes supporting orphanages, welfare centres for the elderly and disabled and Qur’an Tahfiz (memorisation) schools.

 

Interpal Representatives
As part of its awareness raising efforts, Interpal sometimes sends delegations made up of community leaders to its main areas of operation (Gaza, the West Bank and the refugee camps in Lebanon and Jordan). These leaders can then give the community a first hand account of the situation and report on the progress of Interpal projects. Interpal is committed to transparency in its operations, and this is one way of ensuring that interested parties can see for themselves exactly how their money is being spent.

Interpal representatives have participated in many events over the years, and have spoken out against the terrible humanitarian conditions in Palestine as well as the work Interpal does to provide relief and development aid to the poor and needy.
