Initiative for Victims’ Educational and Economic Development

Friends of the Hesed Fund have established this new organisation with the mission:

“To support the educational development of children who cannot afford to attend school as a result of poverty caused by ethno-religious crises and terrorism.”

I-VEED‘s mission is thus distinct from but complementary to that of the Hesed Fund, and its values are very similar to ours, including in particular a focus on the most vulnerable, open collaboration between Christians and Muslims, and a healing and non-confrontational approach to engagement in ethno-religious conflicts. We also have confidence in the faithfulness of its Trustees and leadership. We therefore warmly recommend it to potential donors. See the I-VEED website for more information, including the latest newsletter:
