The Rubash Garden at Dar al-Kalima University in Bethlehem is a place to sit, create, work, and breathe. It offers something profoundly human: a sense of normalcy, joy, and belonging. It is our belief that by nurturing this space, we can contribute—however modestly but meaningfully—to peace, healing, and new life in a region where stability is desperately needed.

American Friends of Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem to be used toward Princess Basma Centre Mother and Family Empowerment Program
The Mother and Family Empowerment Program (MFEP) provides intensive residential training, therapy, and psychosocial support to primary caregivers—usually mothers—accompanying a child newly diagnosed with a disability. While children receive specialized physical, occupational, or speech therapy, mothers are trained in home-care plans, positive parenting, health, and nutrition so they can sustain therapy progress upon returning home. The program aims to break the isolation of families, reduce the social stigma of disabilities, and equip caregivers with the tools and confidence to help their children thrive.
