The organization

Main objectives:

Our vision is of a Palestine where children and young people can learn together, play together and develop together, sharing experiences and ideas and expressing themselves creatively through writing, dialogue and art. 

Our approach focuses on creating alternatives forms of learning outside the formal education system. We target children and young people in order to build up local capacity within the community that carries into the long term. Respect for the human being and nature are an integral part of our learning initiatives, and are a necessary dynamic in creating a Palestinian productive society that respects human rights.

Our activities fall under three main programs:

-         Promotion of reading and expressive arts.

-         Youth Empowerment.

Children’s literature program.

Target groups of the organization

Children and young people in the Palestinian occupied territories, their number ranging around 100,000 beneficiaries.
