About Program
Spafford Children Center is situated on a hilltop in the north east corner of the Old City of Jerusalem overlooking the Mount of Olives and with a beautiful view of the Al-Aqsa mosque grounds.
Spafford is a community centre serving one of the poorest and most marginalized communities in Jerusalem. The centre provides a variety of services to a wide spectrum of the society, ranging from nursery and a kindergarten for poor children to leisure, cultural, artistic and sports activities for adolescents, youth and adults. The Center met this challenge by developing a psycho-social- special Education and Cultural department to help the children and mothers cope with the situation. Its programs were gradually expanded and diversified and are still developing and changing to meet new situations as they arise.
