We desire peace in Palestine
Support psychosocial activities to help children cope with the fear of war in Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Jericho
We wish for peace always and in all places in the world where we carry out our development projects. In these terrible hours we wish for peace in the Middle East.
In Palestine, the ongoing conflict is making it almost impossible for families to provide for the basic needs of their children, and for students to be able to go to school.
There is much concern about what is happening and about the future, and we are doing what we can to ensure continuity in our interventions.
The children and young people attending AVSI-supported schools in Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Jericho are all well and safe, but they are scared and feel extremely vulnerable. We will not leave them alone.
The Distance Support team in Palestine continues to stay close to their families, teachers and educators.
We are working with school social workers to readjust teaching methods and extracurricular activities to the current emergency context: now more than ever, children need to feel safe and strengthen their bonds and confidence.
With your donation, we will respond to these families' basic needs, increase services for children within the Distance Support program, and enhance psycho-social support thanks to social workers.
