Welcome To the Washington D.C. Chapter
We are a nonprofit organization that emphasizes on the unity of the Ramllah people in United States and abroad. We originated from a town call Ramallah, "God's Hill" that is 10 miles north of Jerusalem. It is said that Jesus Christ passed through this town many times on his way to Jerusalem. Crusaders in the Holy Land, in the 11th through the 13th centuries, built a fortified castle in Ramallah that overlooked the coastal plains of the Mediterranean Sea. In the 1900's residents of Ramallah began to immigrate to the United States.
Today, there are 30,000+ people living in the United States of America. They are concentrated in such states as California, Florida, Texas, Michigan, Illinois, Alabama, Ohio, Arkansas, New York, Wisconsin, New Jersey and Washington D.C. metropolitan area. In all these states, there are local city chapters that were formed making up the American Federation of Ramallah, Palestine. It was established in 1959 and Headquartered in Detroit, Michigan.
We want to retain the unity we had there, here in the states and pass down our tradition to our youth. This is the main interest for the continuance of our future as Palestinian Christians.
Ramallah Hospital Foundation
The Ramallah Hospital Foundation was established in 1944 as a legal entity to solicit funds, build and maintain a hospital in Ramallah to serve its people and the surrounding villages.
What was once a dream is now a reality. The hospital is a landmark that symbolizes the Ramallah immigrants to the United States from generation to generation. This modern medical facility filled a great health need to serve the sick and injured of our Palestinian people in Ramallah and the surrounding area.
