Meet Andrawes
Andrawes was sponsored with a scholarship beginning in 2019. He is now studying at Ahlya University in Bethlehem with a concentration in Public Relations, and works with the nucleus that provides security in Manger Square.
Overview
The Foundation’s activities, focused foremost on sustaining and advancing the Christian presence in the Holy Land, are realized both by our work to advance education and support Christian schools there and by our substantial support to numerous varied Christian institutions and religious communities. We are highly ecumenical, supporting Catholic, Protestant and various Orthodox communities, and recognize that these entities hold an outsized presence, importance to and impact on the society there as a whole. These range from churches to hospitals and clinics to refugee assistance, an orphanage and a fair trade association. These programs are generally continually ongoing, though on occasion we undertake special limited scope projects.
Supporting
Education
We provide direct grants and scholarship funds to Christian schools including 2 Universities, 11 High Schools and 1 Trade/Vocational School.
Supporting
Communities
We play a vital role in Holy Land communities by supporting Christian civic aid organizations, orphanages, and other institutions.
Supporting
Healthcare & Aid
We provide general grants as well as specific project/purpose focused funds to a variety of Christian entities, such as hospitals and aid organizations.
Success Stories
Meet the Sponsored Graduates of Bethlehem University
Meet the recent graduates of Bethlehem University, which the Raymond Davis Foundation sponsors with student scholarships. These young women are all excelling in their career fields and spreading hope in the region.
La Salle School Furnishings
We undertook to equip the La Salle College des Freres - Beit Hanina school with new furnishings, classroom by classroom, at a cost of $2660 per room.
Holy Land Legacy
The GEN Raymond Davis Foundation Endowment is designed to continue this mission in perpetuity, with a portion used annually to augment our programs while preserving the long term fiscal strength of the fund. While a relatively young program, it is already sourcing approximately 10% of our annual charitable work in the Holy Land, supporting educational, humanitarian and special project efforts for Christians in the land of Christ.
