Women's Committee

Ibdaa has an active women's committee that meets regularly to organize programs and projects specifically for the benefit of women in the camp. These include managing the Ibdaa Nursery which provides childcare for working mothers with young children, hosting workshops and forums on topics such as health and human rights, and skills training classes such as literacy, English language, and computer skills. Recently the women's committee started a fitness training program that meets three afternoons per week for aerobic exercise.

The women’s committee runs a women’s embroidery cooperative that provides income to 50 women from disadvantaged families in Dheisheh. Women sew traditional Palestinian embroidery (tatriz) which Ibdaa markets here at our guesthouse and overseas.

If you are living in the US and are interested in purchasing embroidery from Ibdaa please contact Middle East Children’s Alliance meca@mecaforpeace.org
