Safeguarding The Christian Presence in The Holy Land

Today, the Christians living in the Holy Land are the minority. Due to severe political and economic hardships, hundreds of Christian families leave the Holy Land each year. This steady Christian exodus from the land where Christianity began suggests that within the next 50 years, the Christian community will cease to exist unless something is done. As the Christian population struggles to survive in a volatile political environment of ethnic distrust, the FFHL uses every available resource to give Christians a reason to remain in their home; thus accomplishing our mission of safeguarding the Christian presence in the Holy Land.

Principal Purpose And Mission

The Franciscan Foundation for the Holy Land is dedicated to supporting and preserving the Christian community and heritage in the Holy Land. Our mission is to provide essential resources and opportunities to families, empowering them to thrive in their ancestral homeland. Through our unwavering commitment to preserving holy Christian sites and supporting basic human rights, we aim to be a vital resource for the community. Our donor-based humanitarian programs and independent projects are designed to help Christian families not just survive, but flourish.

Preserving the Remnant of the Family of Christ

The focus of FFHL is to preserve the Christian presence in the Holy Land by providing key necessities to everyday life. FFHL works to strengthen Christianity in the Holy Land through the preservation of holy Christian sites and the support of the basic human rights. Our goal is to preserve the presence of the Christian minority living in the Holy Land.
