The Gaza Sunbirds Alaa al-Dali – the Original Gaza Sunbird
We would like to send a cycling team from Gaza to the Paralympics in France in 2024. By becoming backers of the Gaza Sunbird team, you can help us get this project off to a flying start.
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.

‘Ahlan Gaza’ (‘Ahlan’ means ‘Welcome’ in Arabic) shares the simple stories of people living in Gaza, people trying to live with dignity as their options close in on them each year. How do you encourage children to be hopeful for their future when unemployment is at 59%? How do you feed your family when 70% of the population is on food aid? How do you run a business on 5 hours electricity a day?
In 2009, all the main Palestinian churches came together to form Kairos Palestine. Their campaign has enjoyed recent success with the Quakers, URC and Methodists. Now see how you can become involved with Sabeel-Kairos in pressing denominations to change and with the wider work undertaken.
Amos Trust believes that it is vital that we listen to, and act upon the Palestinian civil society call for a military embargo on Israel because of its violations of international law during its frequent attacks on Palestinians. In the UK, this campaign has been led by Campaign Against the Arms Trade, the Palestine Solidarity Campaign and War on Want.
The Boycott Puma Campaign seeks to put pressure on the sportswear company Puma to end their sponsorship of the Israel Football Association, who as documented by Human Rights Watch, includes 6 Israeli football clubs based in illegal Israeli settlements on occupied Palestinian land. Puma’s current and past exclusive licensees in Israel also have operations in illegal Israeli settlements.
Israel overtly uses culture as a form of propaganda to justify its apartheid policies and occupation of the Palestinian territories. Palestinian anti-apartheid activists have called on international artists, writers, cultural institutions and those who work for them to join the cultural boycott of Israel.
In 2005, Palestinian civil society issued a call for a campaign of boycotts, divestment and sanctions (BDS) against Israel until it complies with international law and Palestinian rights. A truly global movement against Israeli Apartheid is rapidly emerging in response to this call.
Rebuilding demolished homes in the West Bank is a powerful challenge to injustice and a profound act of solidarity. Each block we carry, each bucket of cement we mix, are much more than just materials — they are made of stuff that really matters.
