Volunteer in Deheishe Refugee Camp

Karama Organization is a small committed, local-led NGO established in 2002 in Deheishe Refugee Camp on the West Bank in Palestine. We provide an open and safe place in our community center for children, teenagers and women to recreate, learn and grow away from the violence apparent in society. Volunteers are highly welcome to join our local community and exchange with our youth: both to give and to receive! Teachers, musicians, theater makers, sportsmen and good-hearted people are all welcome to live among us for shorter or longer times. There is a short review process to ensure a good match and costs need to be discussed. Volunteers can give their energy and skills to develop workshops for the children, teach the teenager in topics of interest for them or contribute to our community in a practical way. There are some facility in our community center: a computer room with 6 pc's and internet, a library with English and Arabic books, sports and craft supplies, teaching rooms and outside areas for sports and games. A vegetable garden as well!

Local stay allows the volunteers to really immerse into local society where people will be welcomed with generous hospitality. In this way you will get in an insight in the Palestinian refugee community that is otherwise hard to obtain. We want the volunteer to learn about our stories as well as the local community to learn about the stories of people from Europe, the Americas, Asia and all over the world who visit us.
