Skills Training and Empowerment for Palestinian Youths - STEP

The overall objective of the project is to build skills and provide education for marginalized youth and adolescents in Ein El Helwe and Naher El Bared camps. This is achieved by aligning training with new market opportunities through play-based life skills, career guidance, job readiness, and employability packages, with a focus on their specific educational needs and interests.

With the support of our strategic partner Right to Play, the project's impact is showcased through the following achievements:

Community Initiatives:

"A Day with No Violence" Initiative: During the emergency intervention in Ein El-Helweh camp, 500 children, youth, and parents participated in activities outside the camp. The initiative was warmly welcomed by families, who expressed a desire for similar future initiatives.

Cash for Work:

Beneficiaries: 17 youth (14 girls and 3 boys) from affected families benefited from cash for work activities following the 2023 clashes in Ein El Helweh.

Resilience Sessions:

Participation: 74 adolescents and youth participated in resilience sessions, helping them cope with the aftermath of the conflicts.
