Iran - Refugees
Since 2006, the LFT has assisted eight elderly and unsupported Iraqi refugees living in the Sultaniyeh refugee camp in Iran.
Unable to generate an income, they rely on the LFT for survival. Many suffer from mental or physical illnesses, which in turn prevent them from being able to care for themselves.
Palestine - Education
Since 2008, the LFT has sponsored five students studying at the Atfaluna School for the Deaf in Gaza. This has involved the payment of school fees, general upkeep, and the provision of specialist equipment
A recent students’ progress report from January to March 2011 has shown the children to be progressing well, with a marked improvement in a number of students’ social interaction. Many of the students live in harsh economic situations and rely on charities like the LFT for their basic needs.
