Gaza City DSPR
DSPR (also known as NECC) run two vocational youth training centres in Gaza City. Unemployment is over 40% in Gaza and so the courses offered at these centres give students a better chance of finding work.
Wi’am Conflict Resolution Centre is our oldest partner in Palestine and provides an oasis for Palestinian communities in and around Bethlehem.
Situated next to a main checkpoint, and overlooked by a military watchtower and the Separation Wall, the centre provides a joyful act of peaceful resistance through its cultivation of community gardens complete with children’s play area.
The centre aims to strengthen local communities and to support them in tackling increased family breakdowns and community tensions created by the occupation and lack of freedom. Wi'am is rooted in the belief that helping people resolve their personal conflicts helps to preserve Palestinian society and people's faith in non-violent possibilities.
It offers counselling, mediation and reconciliation, helping to address the needs of all community groups including women, young people, couples, older people, neighbours and children.
To find out more about the work and theology that lies behind Wi'am and their long-standing relationship with Amos, please watch this short film.

Last summer, Anne M Jones — grandmother, retired social worker and psychotherapist — cycled 1,900m up to the summit of Mont Ventoux. She was 82. She did it because she was horrified by the genocide in Gaza. A year on, the situation in Gaza is even worse — no aid has been allowed in since the 2nd of March and the entire population is being starved. Read Anne’s story.
Stories, not numbers. When the world talks about Palestinians living under occupation and in refugee camps, it is usually in terms of politics and numbers. But numbers are impersonal, and often numbing. We Are Not Numbers are a Palestinian youth advocacy organisation who tell the human stories behind the numbers in the news from Gaza.
All four webinars from the winter 2023 season are now available to watch again, featuring hour-long conversations with thought-leaders, Amos partners and friends including Fadi Kattan, Sally Azzam, Ahmed Alnaouq, Daoud Nasser, Wisam Salsaa, Mariam Salah, Kat Khoury, James Walmsley and Enas Ghannam from We Are Not Numbers in Gaza.
Tent of Nations is a farm run by the Nasser family south of Bethlehem. The family are due to hear the outcome of a long-running court case to ratify the ownership of their land. The case has been in the courts for decades and has been delayed numerous times — despite them having all the necessary paperwork. Watch again as we showed a recorded interview with Daoud Nasser and gave an update on the latest news.
“In the past year, I have lost many of the tangible parts of my memories — the people and places and things that helped me remember. Every destroyed house becomes a kind of album, filled not with photos but with real people, the dead pressed between its pages.” Read our latest Gaza update with news of our partners, Al Ahli Hospital, DSPR, the Gaza Sunbirds and We Are Not Numbers.
