Appeals: Action around Bethlehem Children with Disability
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Action around Bethlehem Children with Disability was founded in 1986 after one of the organisation's trustees spent a year working as a physiotherapist helping disabled people and children in the Israeli-occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip. Since then ABCD has helped to build a rehabilitation centre, near Bethlehem, where disabled children living in both areas are medically treated. The centre is the core unit for an expanding community programme, including six day-care centres, offering families with disabilities much-needed special equipment - including artificial limbs, walking aids and adapted seating - and physiotherapy. It also sponsors local students at Bethlehem University's Physiotherapy Department to help with its work.
