YWCA - Ramallah Branch

The YWCA of Ramallah, established in 1985, is one of three branches of the YWCA of Palestine. It offers activities, projects and programs open to its members, to women in general, and most particularly to children and youth. The Ramallah YWCA offers a range of programs designed to help women and youth develop skills that are in demand in the labor market and useful in the community.

These programs include vocational training opportunities, cultural and social activities, knowledge and information about physical and psychological health, and political and economic awareness.  Participation in these programs helps women develop and add to the basic skills they have learned while in secondary school, thus encouraging them to use their full range of talents, knowledge and expertise for benefiting them personally, their families and their communities.  In Ramallah the staff forms both an educational and an administrative team.
