The following summarizes Rawabi Foundation objectives:
1. Implementation of projects aimed at sustaining life and keeping pace with the development in Rawabi city and other Palestinian cities and communities.
2. Implementation of educational and vocational projects and programs. The programs aimed to build the capacity of the workforce and training and qualifying citizens to accommodate the available employment opportunities.
3. Implementation of projects and programs related to artistic, cultural, sporting and recreational activities and raise the level of civil and social life
These objectives shape our mission which is to promote proper communication and dialogue between all levels of society, from the individual to the community as a whole. Stressing the need for diversity and coexistence within the differences avoiding the misunderstanding and prejudgment which are affected on the relations.
The Foundation has a number of ongoing projects that are mainly based within Rawabi but are designed to have a wider impact within Palestine. Our current focus is on innovation, education and equal gender rights which we are pursuing through our Entrepreneurs Fellowship Program which focuses on female entrepreneurship. We also have a work-study program that allows both international and Palestinian students to work in the city; and an Innovation Museum for children that teaches critical thinking and problem-solving.
Our projects cover four main themes: education, environment, culture and community. Behind our initiatives is a strong commitment to promoting gender equality, healthy living, protection of the environment and improving opportunities for the underprivileged. Projects are funded by donations from founders, friends and supporters of Rawabi.
