Helping families during the pandemic Bethlehem Star

Due to Covid19 tourists did not come to Bethlehem this Christmas. Most families are dependant on income from pilgrims and used all their savings during 2020. Many families were no longer able to pay for their children's tuition or medicines or food. The International Community of the Holy Sepulchre donated tuition fees to 7 schools from different denominations, 2 local organisations supporting families with medical needs and orphanages and elderly people homes with badly needed healthy food supplies.
