Main Projects / Activities

The Palestinian Child’s Home Club is a non- governmental institution established in Hebron (H1) in 1996. In this centre people work to build a culture of peace and respect for Human Rights. The Club offers activities for children aged between 6 and 16 years, and some of its importance lies on the implication of these children to participate in the activities as adults, as leaders organizing new activities. It is a space for children, where they can come after school, and its objective is to develop their artistic, musical and sports abilities, working to peace building. The center is a place in where children learn to respect basic rights, such as respect to the others, respect for the environment, etc… The children who come to the centre are from the city of Hebron, from Halhul and from Beit Ommar (north of Hebron), Fawwar refugee camp (south of Hebron) and from other areas around the city. The work with these children is based on teaching them principles like respect to the others and to themselves, offering them activities in which they can express their feelings and develop their abilities. These children suffer daily the punishment of the occupation and violence is always present in their lives. For these reasons the work with them is necessary, to offer them a space where they can express their feelings and they can learn to know and to respect basic Human Rights. One of the basic principles of Palestinian Child’s Home Club is to offer activities in which boys and girls work together, promoting this way gender equality. This attitude is not common in the organizations working with children and youth in Hebron, due to its conservative society. PCHC has expanded its activities to be a place for youth. Through one of it’s important projects ( YDRC ) Youth Development Resources Center , PCHC is providing youth a remarkable opportunity in different unique fields which are : High-tech , Media , Capacity Building , Business , and academic orientation and Psycho-Social support . Youth in the age range of 18-30 are welcomed to be part of PCHC – YDRC , where youth could be in a house of education , culture , entertainment, and self development . YDRC provides a variety of unique programs in fields that are implemented for the first time in Hebron such as ( High-tech programs ; which is using computers in creative implementations . Media ; Learning and practicing media tools , Business incubators ; Having pre-university orientation and post-graduate orientation and assistant in building their business ) .
