This Christmas, please help us to raise £15,000 to deliver 220 food parcels to Bethlehem families. Also in Bethlehem, the Al Shurooq Blind school is in serious financial difficulty. So our Christmas wish is to raise £20,000 for Al Shurooq, to fund the installation of solar panels (£12,000) and a new hot water system (£8,000). These projects will help dramatically reduce ongoing monthly costs from thousands to just hundreds of pounds.

The Jeel al Amal Boys home in Bethany is also in a dire situation as all other sources of regular income have stopped. Both these projects that we have visited and encouraged over the decades are now more than ever reliant on MET funding.

Gifts large and small make a significant difference and will be sent in full, with no deductions as McCabe Travel covers all administration costs.

For more than 30 years, MET has supported the Christian community in the Holy Land encouraging them to stay and keep the message of Christmas a living reality. With the generous support of McCabe leaders and pilgrims, we have given £4.5 million pounds in grants. Please help us continue this amazing work – we can’t do it without you.

Last year we partnered with the Shepherd Society at Bethlehem Bible College to make sure that we were able to target local families who needed help the most. They sent us the video below and told us "It was an honor and a true blessing to partner with you and we look forward to continuing such partnership with you".

All of us at the McCabe Educational Trust pray more than ever for the Peace of Jerusalem.

Thank you and God Bless
