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.

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.
