The non-profit is affiliated with Children of Peace and the Alliance for Middle East Peace.[4] [5]

Activities

In 2009, the non-profit began partnering with the Negev Institute for Strategies of Peace and Development on a program, Joint Ventures for Peace, that saw Palestinian and Israeli women receiving job trainings together.[6] [7] The program also aimed to develop business partnerships between the Palestinians and Israelis.[8]

That same year, the organization participated in an exhibition at Palestinian Cultural Week in Amman, Jordan.[9]

In 2011, the organization opened an Economic Development Center.[10]

Beginning in 2016, the non-profit began a breast cancer awareness campaign in Jerusalem in collaboration with the Palestinian Ministry of Health.[11] The campaign included educational lectures, education on self-examination exams, and the founding of a forum for breast cancer survivors.

The organization has also taken part in the distribution of aid, such as food or school bags for students, to families in need.[12] [13]
