JUMP Math enhances the potential in children by inspiring an understanding and love of mathematics. JUMP Math is a philosophy and a set of mathematics resources that aim to improve the teaching of mathematics and to help students enjoy and meet their potential in the subject. The JUMP Math program is based on the belief that all children, even those diagnosed as having serious learning disabilities or who are failing, can excel at math. Mathematics, rather than being the most difficult subject, can be a subject in which children can most easily succeed in – even at a young age – and can thereby develop the confidence and cognitive abilities they need to do well in other subjects.

The CPFQ Child Sponsorship Program is designed to build bridges between the Canadian community and Palestinian children living under occupation or in refugee camps. Children enrolled in our program live under conditions of extreme poverty and unemployment. Many of them live in densely populated refugee camps. A suitable infrastructure is absent, seriously threatening the physical and mental health of residents. Many children suffer from serious health problems and disabilities. Due to financial hardship, many have to leave school at a very young age to help support their families. The severe restrictions on employment and movement make the future of these children very bleak. In addition to providing much needed financial assistance, the program helps maintain stable and rewarding relationships between each child and their sponsor. This simple message of hope can offset some of the effects of the chaotic and insecure conditions in which they live.
