The health challenges in a refugee camp are significant, and many live under difficult conditions with limited access to clean water, food, medicine, and healthcare. Even minor infections or injuries can quickly become serious, and diseases that are normally easy to treat can become life-threatening. Pregnant women and young children are particularly vulnerable, and many suffer from malnutrition or untreated illness.

Even the simplest medical procedures can have a huge impact. Cleaning a wound, treating an infection in time, providing access to hygiene, or monitoring pregnancies and childhood illnesses can literally save lives. Every treatment, every helping hand, and every check-up helps protect individuals, strengthen families, and create security in the local community.

Small, targeted initiatives have a big impact when carried out with care and love — clearly showing how concrete actions can make a difference in the daily lives of those who need it most.

Care center

Our care center is an important and heartwarming project in Meheba. The center was taken over from the UN as Transit Center 44, and today 25 people live there, receiving care, security, and community. Many of them have no family to look after them, and without a place like this, they would often be completely alone — without the help and support they need.

Our project was initially operated as an elderly home, but in 2025 it was further developed into a care center for people of all ages. This change was driven by a much broader need for safety, support, and daily care across different age groups. To meet this need, the project is now being expanded with new housing units. In the future, these will provide space for both individuals and families who need a nurturing environment and assistance in navigating life’s challenges.

The project as a whole is about honoring and caring for people who would face great challenges in society on their own. At the center, they have access to food, medical care, and a community that sees them and gives them dignity. Here, they receive not only care but also warmth, conversation, and security — a home where they know they are valued and loved.

The care center still continues to provide support for the elderly in Meheba, reminding us that every stage of life has value, and that God’s love applies just as strongly to those who have lived long as to those who are just beginning.
