Fighting for better water quality for Palestinian refugees was the reason that 1for3 started. Our first program, in 2012, established a water testing lab in the UN-run Aida refugee camp in partnership with a local community center, Lajee, and Tufts University’s Water: Systems, Science & Society program (WSSS). Water remains at the heart of our work. Since 2012 we have established portable water quality monitoring programs, constructed 45 rooftop gardens and greenhouses (which serve 300 people) built two community cisterns, replaced 30 roof-top water tanks to safeguard household water supplies, and led four delegations to build water testing labs and train technicians to test and monitor water that has led to upgraded infrastructure.

1for3 will use your donations well!
Zahrat Al-Yasmeen is possible because of global partnership. Since 2019, 1for3 has brought together Palestinian and US educators to build and support the development of child-focused learning. Together, they build curricula, teaching methods, and new offerings of student support. Opened in 2021 and located on the ground floor of the Lajee Center in the UN-run Aida refugee camp in Bethlehem, West Bank, Zahrat Al-Yasmeen kindergarten provides a pre-school education for children from two UN-run camps.
