All monies raised is going to the charity 'Friends of the Lazarus Home for Girls.' The charity based in the UK is raising funds to build a girls' orphanage in Bethany situated just outside Jerusalem. The project involves the construction of a five storey building, as the current orphanage is housed in cramped rented accommodation. The new building will provide a home for local destitute girls who are often found abandoned on the streets, abused and neglected. It will also house a kindergarten to benefit the local community and a skills centre too.
The Lazarus Home for Girls was founded 13 years ago by Samar, a Palestinian Christian who has dedicated her life to providing a loving caring environment for the girls. There are currently 30 girls at the home who range in age from 4-15 years. The new building would enable Samar to house many more girls in a much more spacious place. The shell of the new building is now complete, but money is needed to pay for the all the internal work, fixtures and fitting.
