Project's focus area: A Palestinian village that owns its own land needs books for its new library
Project Needs and Beneficiaries

The village of Al Aqabah, a Palestinian Village in Area C of the West Bank, dreams of becoming a hub for learning. Their kindergarten and school attracts students from miles around. They want their library and children’s discovery center to do the same. They own their land without question and have filed a master land use plan w the Israeli authorities. Building permits have been unattainable so far – and there’s lots of good reason why retroactive permits should be granted.

Activities
Named for the 12th century Islamic philosopher from Spain who argued rationalism over fundamentalism, this remarkable library needs books, computers, and stipend to hire the librarian.
Expected Outcomes
In addition to the Rebuilding Alliance, 17 embassies and UN agencies invested in this peaceful village and are advocating to save it. The library will bring thought, science, art to a place that brings the world together for peace.
Project Message
I invite everyone in the world to visit my village and join me for coffee!
- Haj Sami Sadik Sbaih, Head of the Al Aqabah Village Council
