Story
For over 150 years, Ramallah Friends School (RFS) has stood as a testament to the power of education and the unwavering pursuit of peace. This beacon of hope in the heart of Palestine has nurtured generations of students, providing them with a rigorous academic foundation rooted in the Quaker values of simplicity, peace, integrity, community, equality, and stewardship.
Today, RFS faces unprecedented challenges amidst the ongoing unrest and economic hardship in Palestine. The school's commitment to providing a safe and nurturing learning environment remains steadfast, but the impact of these turbulent times is undeniable.
The Ramallah Friends School Solidarity Fund is being established to provide critical support during this difficult period. This fund will directly address the growing financial needs of the school and ensure that its doors remain open to all students, regardless of their families' economic circumstances.
Here's how the Solidarity Fund will make a difference:
Enabling access to quality education: The fund will support financial aid programs, allowing families struggling financially to keep their children enrolled at RFS and benefit from its world-class education.
Maintaining educational excellence: With the current economic uncertainty, the fund will help the school bridge budgetary deficits and ensure that RFS continues to provide its exceptional academic and extracurricular programs, including its prestigious International Baccalaureate curriculum, vibrant music, arts, and sports offerings.
Creating a haven of peace and stability: In the midst of turmoil, RFS offers a safe haven for its students, fostering a sense of normalcy and stability. By providing financial support, we can help the school maintain its vital role in the Palestinian community.
Giving to the RFS Solidarity Fund is more than just a donation; it's an act of solidarity. It's a tangible way to show your support for RFS, its dedicated staff, and its students who are navigating these difficult times with courage and resilience.
Your contribution can make a profound difference in the lives of our students, enabling them to continue their education and reach their full potential.
