PCEC was establised in 2019 to facilitate Quranic and Islamic foundation classes for the children, youths and women among the Palestinian refugees in Ein el-Hilweh camp. Most importantly, it serves as a comfort centre to manage the social and psychological threats among children and women.

Ein el-Hilweh is the largest refugee camp in Lebanon. It was established in 1948 and populated largely by Palestinians forced to leave from their homes in the coastal regions, then joined by those being relocated from other camps especially after Tripoli civil unrest and Nahr el-Bared conflict in 2007. Constast flows of refugees from Syria and Palestine have never ceased.

PCEC, formerly known as Markaz Tahfiz Al-Quran Palestine-Syria, is a result of Cinta Yatim Palestin Syria Project following HALUAN’s Winter Relief Mission in 2014. It began with sponsorship of 100 Palestinian orphans at the camp, then followed with educational programs for bigger number of refugees including youths and parents.

From two Quranic and Islamic study classes in 2019, PCEC grows into four formal classes and regular classes or camps on self development, women’s skills courses, as well as awareness lectures. At least 222 refugees gain direct benefits from this program, including 157 children, 30 youths and 35 women.

Besides donations from the Malaysian public, this project is regularly funded by Sabasun HyperRuncit Sdn Bhd.
