The Department of Service to Palestinian Refugees (DSPR) offers humatarian, psychosocial support and vocational training to the young people of Gaza — the innocent victims of four wars since 2009 — giving them hope for the future.
DSPR
(Also known as NECC)
Specialist mentoring and psychological support is given to all students, which are essential to help them complete and succeed in their training courses and develop as individuals and cope with the isolation of everyday life in Gaza.
They currently supervise four training centres – promoting gender equality — including courses in technical/vocational trades (building, carpentry, welding, and other hands-on practical trades), advanced dressmaking, secretarial studies, office management, and English language study. Interest-free educational loans are also made available for those students wishing to complete their studies in Palestinian universities.

Every year, Amos Trust’s Christmas Appeal raises money for grassroots projects in Palestine. Please show your support by buying our new ‘Steal All The Flowers’ Christmas cards. The image on the front is a painting called ‘My Window on Gaza’ by Gazan artist Raed Issa and used with his kind permission.
Show your support by purchasing our reprinted Bethlehem Candle Christmas cards and help support our Christmas Appeal which raises funds for our work in Palestine. Sold as a pack of 10 A6 cards with envelopes, the message on the front reads ‘Wishing you Peace this Christmas’ along with a quote from Martin Luther King inside.

Amos Trust’s On Location exhibition introduces leading visual artists from Gaza and explores the motivations, frustrations and realities of being artists under siege.

The Keffiyeh is a traditional Middle Eastern headdress traditionally worn by Palestinian farmers which became a symbol of Palestinian nationalism during the Arab Revolt of the 1930s. Outside of the Middle East and North Africa, the Keffiyeh first gained popularity among activists supporting the Palestinians in the conflict with Israel. These Keffiyeh’s are made in Palestine.
“If you had said a year ago that the situation in Gaza would be worse now, I would not have believed you. I could not have believed what Israel would do.” Ambassador Dr Husam Zomlot — Head of the Palestine mission to the UK. The population in Gaza is experiencing a humanitarian disaster. Please support our Christmas Appeal for Gaza.
