The project targets children and youth who come from disadvantaged, conservative and religious communities in Jerusalem, Central and Northern Israel, as well as the West Bank, including Hebron, Ramallah and Bethlehem. The mass appeal of sports helps to attract and engage a diverse array of participants, including communities typically resistant to peacebuilding programmes. Included beneficiaries have mainly a disadvantaged socio-economic background from families in poverty.
SOL’s contribution
Between the years 2017 and 2020, The SOL Foundation assists to provide opportunities for positive interaction and trust-building, to provide extracurricular activities for disadvantaged youth and resistant populations and to create opportunities for females, equipping them with leadership skills and self-confidence.
