General Information

QADER for Community Development is a Palestinian NGO, working for persons with disabilities. The organization employs 11 staff members – the General Director, Executive Director, Financial Coordinator, Administrative Coordinator, Project Officer, 3 field workers, 2 business coaches and the MOVE program coordinator. The General Assembly is made up of 26 members who meet once a year. The Board of Directors contains 9 members who are elected over a two-year period and meet every three months. We have, among other things, produced a guide for teachers distributed by the Ministry of Education and UNRWA to all public and UNRWA-run schools in the West Bank. We also work with municipalities to establish community centers that provide services for persons with disabilities, including special education, speech therapy, physiotherapy, and psych-social support. The model has been adopted by the Ministry of Social Affairs and Ministry of Local Government.

Mission and Objectives

Our vision is that all persons, no matter level of ability, are to enjoy full citizenship rights, and participate in all aspects of life within Palestinian society. Our mission is thus to launching innovative social models and to promote policies, in accordance with national and international law that contribute to the inclusion of persons with disabilities in the Palestinian society.
We work towards this vision through the following seven steps:
Develop the capacity within Palestinian institutions
Push for the mainstreaming of the disability concept on all institutional levels
Spread awareness within the community about the rights and obstacles of persons with disabilities.
Educate families and professionals who on a daily basis come into contact with persons with disabilities.
Socially and economically empower persons with disabilities and their families.
Facilitate the provision of higher education to persons with disabilities.
Develop and adopt new methodologies, to assist persons with disabilities.

Main Projects / Activities

QADER has started up and is successfully running 6 MOVE Program Centers around the West Bank for children with severe and/or multiple disabilities. Together with their parents they will learn basic skills through educated staff in the MOVE philosophy. (Please see attached folder for more information)
We are also currently running four other projects, namely
‘Combating gender based violence’
'Promoting the quality of life for the most marginalized women’
‘Deprived families economic empowerment’
and
‘Addressing the social needs of persons with disabilities’
All of which can be found and described in greater detail on our website.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

We have the possibility to add an extra level of inclusion to the network, since when it comes to the aspect of persons with disabilities, we have in-depth experience. When we talk about diversity in schools, we need not only talk about religious diversity, but diversity in level of ability as well. This is a field where we can contribute. We cooperate with various areas of society and have a large network of people around us, from professionals to private persons, to governmental institutions and local organizations. We work extensively within the field of education and raising awareness among children and youth on the topic in order to promote a long term shift in society of the views and inclusion of people with disabilities.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

All too often we see that the gap between organizations and people working towards a common goal is wide or non-existant. We believe however that it is only by working together that we can be more efficient in achieving what we strive for. In QADER we stand behind the ALF's vision to improve cultural mutual respect and a common future for the region. The work that ALF do is in large about inclusion, in the Palestinian context that also entails actively working for the inclusion of persons with disabilities, as these individuals tend to be left on the margines of our society. To bring this aspect into the network would be an important part of QADER's contribution.

General Information

RCHRS is composed of a Board of Directors, a General Assembly, a group of volunteers and its team of paid staff, currently counting five full-time and four part-time employees. Our funding comes from private and public international sources, such as European country representations in Palestine as well as international private grantmaking foundations. Our Center conducts theoretical and applied research, educational programs and workshops and undertakes advocacy work to pursue its objectives.

Mission and Objectives

RCHRS is an independent, secular non-profit organization that advocates for, raises awareness about and documents on themes of human rights, tolerance and democracy in the occupied Palestinian territories and in the MENA region. Its aim is to engender a culture of human rights and tolerance by supporting inter-faith, inter-cultural and non-violent dialogue. The RHRS' agenda revolves around four main themes: 1.) Human rights and Tolerance 2.) Civil Liberties 3.) Educational Rights and Academic Freedom 4.) Democratization and Good Governance. Through a wide network of associated individuals and organizations, RCHRS reaches isolated and marginalized areas.

Main Projects / Activities

Within the Tolerance and Human Rights program, we want to anchor the respect and appreciation of cultural, religious and ethnic diversity in Palestinian society, namely by encouraging a reformatory religious ideology respectful of human rights and pluralism as well as by expanding the concept of secularism. Through the Educational Rights and Academic Freedoms program, we seek to counter the non-democratic trends in educational institutions and to increase the respect of educational and cultural rights in Palestine. We also aim at introducing the values of human rights, tolerance and democracy into student culture as well as to increase the participation of students in political processes. By means of the Civil Liberties program, we want to counter censorship so as to safeguard freedom of expression, encourage media pluralism and increase free access to information which we consider indispensable components of a healthy democracy. The Democratization and Good Governance program's goal is to revitalize the discourse on good governance and accountability of the Palestinian government and other political actors and bring about the secularization of the Palestinian political system By achieving more transparent political institutions, we aspire to foster national dialogue and reconciliation so as to achieve social and political peace in Palestine.
