Wi’am (West Bank)

Peace, reconciliation & community empowerment

Situated next to one of Bethlehem’s main checkpoints and the Israeli Separation Wall, Wi’am Conflict Resolution Centre’s community garden and play area sits at the foot of a military watchtower.

Wi’am is one of Amos Trust’s oldest partners in Palestine, providing an oasis for communities in and around Bethlehem. Recognising its unique location and vital role, Amos Trust has recently focused support on developing its Community peace garden and building the Harmony Community Centre within it.

Wi’am strengthens local communities by addressing family breakdowns and community tensions caused by the occupation and restricted freedoms. Their work is rooted in the belief that resolving personal conflicts helps preserve Palestinian society and fosters faith in non-violent solutions.

The centre offers counselling, mediation, and reconciliation, with particular emphasis on women’s empowerment and supporting children and young people.
