Health Outreach to the Middle East

Health Outreach to the Middle East (H.O.M.E.) is a Christian, interdenominational nonprofit organization dedicated to providing physical, psychological, and spiritual healing to poor and suffering people in the Middle East. Established in 1991, H.O.M.E. operates as a 501(c)(3) public charity[1].

Mission

The organization's mission focuses on reaching those in need, regardless of their race, color, religion, or geographical/political status, through faith-based initiatives. H.O.M.E.'s leadership is notable for being comprised of Bible-believing physicians originally from the Middle East, which aids in overcoming cultural and political barriers[1][2].

Operations

H.O.M.E. supports a network of low-cost Christian medical clinics, hospitals, and medical projects across several countries in the Middle East. As of recent reports, they have over 15 and up to 18 projects in locations including Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, and Sudan, with future plans to expand into regions such as the United Arab Emirates, Yemen, Bahrain, and parts of North Africa[2][3].

Governance

The organization is governed by a board of directors, which includes members such as Dr. Issam Raad, Imad Aad, Fred Bakht, and others. The board conducts formal orientations for new members and adheres to conflict-of-interest policies to maintain transparency and ethical governance[3].

Donations and Support

As a charitable entity, donations to Health Outreach to the Middle East are tax-deductible. The organization relies on support from donors to further its mission of delivering healthcare and spiritual aid to marginalized communities in the Middle East[1].
