Rehabilitation of Vulnerable Households: Restoring Livelihoods for the Palestinian Population in Bethlehem

PRO TERRA SANCTA

Justification

In the current context of the war between Israel and Hamas and its severe economic consequences for the Palestinian population, this project supports the most vulnerable families in Bethlehem, Beit Jala, and Beit Sahour through small-scale home rehabilitation works. These include wall and roof insulation, prevention of dampness and leaks, painting, and maintenance of bathrooms and kitchens, making their homes safe and genuinely habitable. At the same time, the project creates new employment opportunities for people who have lost their jobs, particularly young people.
