Our Mission & Vision
At Ahdaf, through our first project, St Martha’s House, our mission is to enrich the lives of elderly Christian women in Bethlehem by offering a safe, supportive community where they can gather, share, and thrive. We uphold dignity and respect in every stage of life, addressing social, physical, and emotional needs while nurturing a daily sense of belonging, faith, and joy.
Our vision is a Bethlehem where no elderly woman is left alone or forgotten, but lives her later years in comfort, connection, and purpose. Through compassionate care, cultural heritage, and community support, St Martha’s House seeks to be a beacon of hope and a living reminder of the Christian presence in the Holy Land.
