MISSION
Why the Hope Foundation of Palestine
At the Hope Foundation of Palestine, we believe that poverty is a world-wide crisis, but it is unique in Palestine due to other added factors such as occupation, political and historical factors, and corruption.
Education is the only tool to lift poor and needy families out of poverty.
Educating the poor and needy is a vehicle to lift the whole family out of poverty and not just the individual.
Educating the poor and needy will ease the hardship imposed on the Palestinian people by the occupation.
Educating the poor and needy will reduce corruption and reduce economical inequalities.
Educating the poor and needy is an investment to the whole community and will promote economical growth.
To achieve its mission, the Hope Foundation of Palestine created a roadmap for success.
