The Healing to Hope + Anar Connection
Healing to Hope promotes the emotional and psychological healing of Palestinian children and caregivers impacted by violence and oppression. We do this in part by raising awareness about and supporting the work of Anar, a Palestinian non-profit based in Bethlehem.
As a US-based organization, Healing to Hope shares Anar’s vision to advance the well-being and resilience healing of Palestinian children, youth, and caregivers through meaningful psychosocial support and arts-based healing.
We are sister organizations, walking the path together in different ways to transform the lives of Palestinian children and their caregivers by centering healing and hope as a form of collective resilience.
Anar is located in the old city of Beit Sahour, near Bethlehem. Healing to Hope is based in Minneapolis, MN, USA.
What’s at Stake
The situation in Palestine remains a protracted political crisis due to more than 75 years of Israeli military occupation, discrimination, and lack of respect for international humanitarian and human rights law. Today, Palestinian children and youth are experiencing an unprecedented degree of violence and oppression in their everyday lives, while also carrying the weight of generational trauma. The toll on their mental and emotional well-being as a result of the ongoing genocide in Gaza and the escalating violence and displacement in the West Bank cannot be overstated. Read how Healing to Hope is meeting the moment.
