Project: Students Awareness, Educational & Training Courses
Founded: 1998
Location: Nablus, West Bank
A grant from the Jerusalem Fund Humanitarian Link enabled El-Lid Charitable Society to conduct its informal community classes for students who need more assistance and support in school. Tutoring was offered to 5th -12th graders at the El-Lid campus three times a week by 20 teachers from the local community who were seeking more experience and covered such subjects as English, Math, Chemistry, Physics, and Arabic. Food and refreshments were provided daily, and because the children came from different regions of the governorate, transportation was provided for all. El-Lid also offered many field trips for the students and classes in computer proficiency. The high school students also met twice a week to discuss their academic futures with advisors and all participating children were offered professional, psychosocial support. The grant from the Jerusalem Fund also gave local women in the community the opportunity to learn invaluable computer skills.
