Our mission is to support projects that engage Israeli and Palestinian communities working to further common environmental and other interests, and to build meaningful connections between people in the United States and Israeli and Palestinian communities involved in these efforts.
Our projects involve diverse communities in Israel and the West Bank, including Jews, Muslims and Christians, Bedouin, Druze and immigrant communities, and may be located in Israel and the West Bank. These projects include work where we have provided expertise and/or funding. Our partners include organizations that we have been or are currently working with, and organizations with which we are discussing future opportunities. Our environmentally focused our projects are part of our Environmentally Sustainable Projects initiative. Other projects focus on education and building civil society. Here are a few highlights:
The open burning of circuit boards and other electronic waste creates a hazard for workers and local residents.
East of Jerusalem, rapidly expanding local communities lack infrastructure to treat raw sewage, which ends up in local wadis.
Several of the ancient cisterns that provide drinking water at the 1500 year old Mar Saba Monastery have been contaminated.
