ABOUT US:
In times of financial and emotional adversity, communities come together to help and provide relief against misfortune, pain and despair. The concept of charitable action and philanthropy signifies the generosity of spirit practiced worldwide. Philanthropy, as an act of compassion, has been part of the American way of life and it is the great shared task of improving our collective lives. The Cyprus Children's Fund, Inc. (CCF), is a 501(C)(3) tax exempt, non-profit organization, established in 1975 following the devastating Turkish invasion and occupation of Cyprus, to alleviate the plight of hundreds of displaced children. Any aid was needed to help restore the dignity and hope in troubled families and their children.
Today the organization has evolved into one that continuously strives to provide help not only to refugees and enclaved children, but also children that come from dysfunctional and underprivileged families with a sponsorship program. CCF is investing in youth, offering yearly scholarships to students who study in American Universities and cannot afford tuition on their own. Many other external programs and initiatives which help underprivileged children are supported every year through our organization.
