Program Details

With the help of your generous and loving support, life in West Jenin has transformed. Children and families are much stronger now. The community has met its goals, they have graduated to self-sufficiency and World Vision is leaving the community to help another one. Your support will have a lasting impact for years to come.

Context

The community of West Jenin is located in the northern part of the West Bank region. People here have experienced significant violence in the last 60 years, due to the unresolved political situation. Most families make their living off the land and almost two-thirds of the cultivated land is covered with olive trees. Rains come only between December and February.


World Vision has worked to help people in West Jenin and the surrounding area since 1975. However, construction of the Separation Barrier has made life more difficult for people, reducing arable land, limiting water access, and closing the large Israeli market to farmers and other workers. As a result, poverty and unemployment are growing at a pace that threatens to destroy the region's already fragile economy.
