OUR PARTNERS & PROJECTS
Our life-changing work relies on the generous support of our donors. Without their contributions, we would not be able to continue saving sight and transforming lives. The patients and staff at SJEHG are deeply grateful to all our partners for their ongoing support. We sincerely appreciate the ongoing commitment from the St John Priories and Establishments, whose help plays an essential role in furthering our mission.
Our Partners
SOME OF OUR CURRENT PROJECTS
Fred Hollows Foundation (West Bank)
This project focuses on expanding access to eye care services across Jerusalem, Kufr Aqab, and Hebron. Activities include mobile outreach clinics, a residency programme to train future ophthalmologists, and support for the development of a nursing school. The project also enhances operational efficiency through the implementation of a Health Management Information System (HMIS) and a Group-wide Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system.
Fred Hollows Foundation (Gaza)
In Gaza, the project supports our Emergency Medical Response Plan, enabling us to respond more effectively to urgent eye health needs in a region facing significant humanitarian challenges. This includes bolstering frontline services and ensuring continuity of care during times of crisis.
Qatar Fund for Development (QFFD)
This partnership supports the delivery of sight-saving surgeries across multiple locations, helping to expand access to eye care for underserved communities. It also plays a vital role in reducing the backlog of patients caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. In addition, QFFD funding is enabling the repurposing and development of key facilities at our Jerusalem Hospital, including the enhancement of outpatient services to meet growing demand.
Arab Fund for Economic and Social Development
This project focuses on the renovation of the Nablus Hospital and the purchase of essential equipment, increasing SJEHG’s capacity to treat more patients and deliver world-class eye care.
Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN)
CBN provides vital support to our Patient Relief Fund, enabling life-changing surgeries for underprivileged patients who would otherwise be unable to afford care. This funding helps ensure that financial hardship is never a barrier to receiving expert, sight-saving treatment.
How we’re funded
Typically, around half of our income comes from patient contributions and the other half comes from fundraising. However, with unemployment rates soaring in recent years, we are seeing a decline in patient income, making fundraising more critical than ever.
