Refugee Camps

 

We are committed to bringing real hope and creating sustainable opportunities

 

Palestinian refugees or Palestine refugees, as defined by United Nations General Assembly’s Resolution 194 and confirmed by the UN Conciliation Commission for Palestine (UNCCP), are persons who have been displaced from their homes in Palestine, including both Arabs and Jews.

 

The West Bank has 19 Official Camps, with 194, 514 refugees (estimated 2012).

 

We are committed to bringing real hope and creating sustainable opportunities for the children in the refugee camps. We recognize that sport is a powerful social tool that can leave a lasting positive impact in the communiy through, health, education and economic empowerment. We want to put smiles on the faces of kids that have never been provided with some of the most basic services and opportunities.
