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.

Situated right by one of Bethlehem’s main checkpoints and the Separation Wall, the Wi’am Centre has a community garden complete with children’s play area, which is overlooked by a military watchtower. Wi’am Conflict Resolution Centre is our oldest partner in Palestine and provides an oasis for Palestinian communities in and around Bethlehem.
Amos Home Rebuild trips are an opportunity to bring hope to a Palestinian family and community by helping them to rebuild their demolished home. We challenge the injustice of home demolitions, deepen our understanding of the situation and build deep and lasting relationships with the communities we become part of.
A highlight of Amos’ calendar, the Bet Lahem Live Arts Festival is one of the best ways to see and celebrate Palestinian culture at its most exuberant. Set in the heart of Old Bethlehem and nestled in amongst the historic winding streets, this weekend long, giant street party is crammed to the brim with local and international music, art and dance.
Holy Land Trust, in Bethlehem, enables creative programmes and projects — both locally and globally — that foster understanding, healing and empowerment of individuals and communities affected by the Israeli occupation. Their community outreach team works tirelessly to strengthen communities and to unite local people in acts of non-violent resistance against the occupation.
Alrowwad Centre for Culture and Arts is based in Aida refugee camp in Bethlehem. It provides dynamic community arts projects, promoting the cultivation of creativity as an alternative to violence. They call it ‘beautiful, non-violent resistance’ to empower children, young people and women. Watch a short film about their work.
Amos Trust ‘Taste of Palestine’ culinary trips are based in the kitchens, restaurants and markets of Bethlehem and Nazareth. We cook in local homes, delight in traditional dishes and get to grips with the issues around the kitchen table. We spend time travelling up through the West Bank, meeting local farmers and hearing about the constraints and difficulties they face on a daily basis.
Each year we organise guided trips and tours for people to visit our partner projects around the world. These trips enable people to spend time with our local partners to really grasp first-hand the issues they face and better understand the unique ways they are choosing to respond to very difficult circumstances.
Al Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza City was bombed on 17th October 2023 — up to 500 people were killed.

It is a haven of peace and hope in the middle of one of the world’s most troubled areas.
