Project: Renovation of plumbing of nursing home for the elderly
Founded: 1956
Location: Ramallah
The nursing home for the elderly in Ramallah was in desperate need of significant renovation. Faulty pipes leaked, flooding contaminated waste water throughout the building and the street. The Jerusalem Fund extended a grant to undertake the renovations, providing a safer and healthier environment for the nursing home’s residents and neighboring community. This new plumbing system has prevented unnecessary exposure to contaminated waste water among elderly residents and has helped reduce illnesses in this already at-risk population.
