NEWS

Light for St. Luke's: Make every watt count

St. Luke's Hospital in the West Bank provides essential care to a population of more than 455,000 people. Yet, the hospital faces constant challenges as it struggles to operate during unreliable electricity and increasing fuel costs. Alongside Hope is partnering with the Diocese of Jerusalem to change that.

With your incredible support, we're funding the installation of 407 solar panels that will supply St. Luke's with clean and dependable energy. This $352,000 project will keep lifesaving care running even during power outages.

Thanks to a very generous Alongside Hope donor, every gift will be matched. Doubling your impact and the amount of solar panels funded.

Goal: $176,000

Raised as of June 25: $86,204

To everyone who has contributed so far, thank you. Your generosity makes a world of a difference in communities that need it most.
