Mission Statement
We empower underprivileged Palestinian youth in Palestine/Israel by giving them the tools & skills needed to become change-makers. We do this through our Scholarship Programme that provides educational, cultural & capacity development. We also partner with grassroots civil society organisations that work in education & culture to increase their impact & sustainability in order to empower Palestinian youth.
About This Cause
The Galilee Foundation has been in operation since 2007. We want to have empowered Palestinian youth who have the tools needed to make a positive & transformational change in their lives & communities. Palestinian youth living in Palestine/Israel face ever-growing poverty & discrimination. With limited resources & opportunities, they’re struggling to break out of this crippling cycle. As part of our vision we want to promote the development of Palestinians through educational initiatives. The projects we support aim to give youth the skills and support they need to thrive and break out of the cycle of marginalisation and poverty, not only to better their own lives but to enhance those of their families and communities by understanding the need for collective responsibility, volunteering and giving back. We also partner with organisations on the ground on cultural initiatives that connect Palestinian youth with their forgotten history and identity. The projects give youth the guidance needed to make sense of the difficult environment in which they all live. Our Scholarship Programme is one of the largest independent programmes available to Palestinian students. Since 2007, we’ve helped over 1,100 students complete a higher education! In 2019, we expanded our reach to include students in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. Our graduates include doctors, scientists, lawyers, community leaders, heads of NGOs, engineers, artists and around 60% of them are women.
