Health for the Elderly.

This is a brief update through images of the work our trained Community Health Workers (CHWs) are doing to help the elderly. They conduct daily home visits & as you will see below, visits to non-homes, in this case the Unified Shelter Center. Through our nearly 30 CHWs we serve over 700 patients.

A New Kindergarten Classroom.

The support of many has made it possible. Despite living in a war zone, dire economic conditions & increased violence, a global team has made a great learning space for 25 more children.

Spring Planting.

Hydroponic gardening, serving more people.

Growing Food.

Despite this climate of fear & violence people are preparing for spring by planting their gardens. In this picture, residents of Aida camp prepare one of the hydroponic gardens for planting. The amazing resiliency shown by our partners provides us with hope & support.

  • Environment Club for Kids

    The club meets every Friday to work with the hydroponic gardens in Aida camp. Majd, the environment program director, leads them as they clean growing systems & plant seedlings on the rooftop gardens.

  • Preparing for Planting

    The team readies 2 hydroponic units after the last winter harvest (cabbage, cauliflower, leafy greens). Now summer crops are nearly ready to go.

  • Family-based Garden Producing

    This lovely cauliflower is just one example of the output from the 3rd hydroponic garden. It is located on the roof of a family’s home, who tend it.

Health

Health 4 Palestine (H4P) is our program that supports community health. In it, 26 trained community health workers (CHWs) work in 5 camps with over 700 patients. Most care focuses on treating chronic diseases & trauma.

Environment Food

Our work in food encompasses the construction & operation of three community hydroponic gardens & a number of micro growing towers. We provide training in hydroponics. Women & young people make up the core participants in our food work. Our goal is to advance Palestinian food sovereignty & support healthy lifestyles.

Environment Water

We established potable water quality monitoring programs, built two community cisterns, replaced 30 rooftop water tanks to safeguard household water supplies & trained refugees to conduct independent water testing that resulted in upgraded infrastructure improvements. We also led four delegations to build water testing labs & train testing technicians.

Education

Zahrat Al-Yasmeen kindergarten.

Since 2019, 1for3 has brought together Palestinian & US educators to support child-focused learning. Together, they build curricula, teaching methods & new offerings of student support. Opened in 2021 & located in the UN-run Aida refugee camp in Bethlehem, West Bank, Zahrat Al-Yasmeen kindergarten provides a great pre-school education for 50 children from two UN-run camps.
