SAMA Programs
SAMA exists to provide hope and healing to a hurting world. SAMA raises support annually through the annual Middle Eastern Feast and Auction, Christmas Crafts sale, and other fund raisers.
Ongoing Medical Programs SAMA supports in the Holy Land include:
- Ahli Arab Hospital (the only Christian hospital in Gaza)
- The Four Homes of Mercy (a home for the severely disabled based in Jerusalem)
SAMA also supports health programs in Africa:
- In 2008, SAMA supported St. Mary’s Hospital in Odibo, Namibia. St. Mary’s is an Anglican-supported hospital for which SAMA provided linens for 50 beds as well as funding expansion of their birth delivery room from one bed to two.
- In 2008, SAMA also supported the Chiedza Clinic, in Harare, Zimbabwe. The clinic is part of the Chiezda child care center which serves perhaps 300 kids, many of whom are HIV positive, and their families.
- As part of St. Andrew’s 50th anniversary celebration in 2007, SAMA raised
almost $5,000 which (in conjunction with Episcopal Relief and Development) purchased 965 specially-treated mosquito nets to prevent malaria in Africa
