The centre aims to strengthen local communities and to support them in tackling increased family breakdowns and community tensions created by the occupation and lack of freedom. Wi'am is rooted in the belief that helping people resolve their personal conflicts helps to preserve Palestinian society and people's faith in non-violent possibilities.

It offers counselling, mediation and reconciliation, helping to address the needs of all community groups including women, young people, couples, older people, neighbours and children.

To find out more about the work and theology that lies behind Wi'am and their long-standing relationship with Amos, please watch this short film.

Webinar: Forgotten — with Raja Shehadeh Tuesday 11 February, 6pm (UK)

Raja Shehadeh is not just a lawyer, writer, and human rights activist — he is a witness to history and a voice for justice in Palestine. Born in 1951 in Ramallah, his life has been shaped by displacement, resistance and an unwavering belief in the power of words and law. His family’s journey — from Jaffa to Ramallah during the Nakba — set the stage for a lifelong struggle to defend Palestinian rights. Raja will be reading from his new book, ‘Forgotten: Searching For Palestine’s Hidden Places and Lost Memorials’ and 2024’s ‘What Does Israel Fear From Palestine?’ Please join us.
