Letter from the National Director 

CRF is a non-profit, charitable and humanitarian organization dedicated to providing education scholarships to needy children in Lebanon and Palestine. CRF is one of many charities of the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America.

Since its inception in 1983, the Children’s Relief Fund, through your generosity, has distributed over 2.3 million dollars to several thousand needy children in Lebanon. These children remain thankful that someone out there cares for their welfare. CRF is currently sponsoring 341 children in Lebanon and 100 children in Palestine.

The necessity to continue our work is now more challenging as more and more children are in need of financial assistance (we have some 100 applications of children waiting to be sponsored in Palestine and Lebanon). For those of you who are already sponsoring a child, we offer our most profound thanks and gratitude. We hope that new sponsors join this humanitarian effort to lift the burden off these children.

One hundred percent (100%) of your contribution (a minimum of $300/year) will get to the sponsored child. When we receive your contribution, we will send you a photo and background information on the child and his/her family on our waiting list.

A very special thanks to all those who have helped us in the past.  We remain steadfast in our commitment to providing education scholarships to some of the poorest children in Lebanon and Palestine.

As a Christian organization, we know our success depends on our humble obedience to God, who has called “whoever receives one little child like this in my name receives me”-Matthew 18:5

Thank you and God bless,

Fr. George M. Rados

National Director
