Young & People with Disabilities

A project aims to form youth groups in the villages of southwestern Ramallah in order to stimulate the potential effectiveness of young people between the ages of 15-24. The program includes building the capabilities of youths and enabling them to plan and implement sustainable community-based youth projects and initiatives. The project targets 6 youth groups in Safa, Beit Awar Al-Fawqa, Beit Awar Al-Tahta, Bil'in, Kafr Nima, and Ain Arik, and the group contains 50-70 young men and women.

A new project for the Young Women's Christian Association and funded by the National Student Council in Norway. It aims to empower young people in Palestine to be active and influential citizens in their societies. The project targets school students between the ages of 13-19 in the West Bank. It also targets young men and women within the age group between 20-25 as supporting groups. The project will offer them opportunities to develop their skills and competencies to be effective leaders. The association is currently working on providing workshops, activities and events through the project volunteers in Silwad and Remon schools (3 schools).

The project started by forming youth groups in the villages of East Ramallah (Silwad, Ramon, Kafr Malik, Al Taybeh, and Al Mazra’a Elshrqieh). The project focused on building their capabilities and motivating them to become active groups who serve the communities in the region. This will help them achieve psychosocial balance and will benefit their families and communities.
