Karama (Arabic for Dignity) strives to empower Palestinian women, children and adolescents and develop the local community by providing a safe haven for learning, cultural awareness and recreation away from the violent streets.
Karama Organization provides educational activities and programs for children from 6 to 18 years and women. We run an activity centre, in which our members learn English, do craft acitivities, learn new job skills and attend lectures on human rights, culture and democracy. We also run annual summer camps for over 80 children. Karama works directly within the community and organizes educational programs in cooperation with local schools and international partners. For example, we organize a unique holistic remedial course program for poor-performing students, combining remedial courses with psychosocial support. Education programs for women include helping them to achieve the high-school diploma and enter university.
