Wi’am Conflict Resolution Centre is our oldest partner in Palestine and provides an oasis for Palestinian communities in and around Bethlehem.
Situated next to a main checkpoint, and overlooked by a military watchtower and the Separation Wall, the centre provides a joyful act of peaceful resistance through its cultivation of community gardens complete with children’s play area.
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.

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.
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.

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.
