Project Hope Palestine (Humanitarian Opportunities for Peace and Education) is a UK registered non-governmental organisation providing free educational and recreational programmes for children in and around the city of Nablus, in the northern part of the State of Palestine, some 63km north of Jerusalem.
[3] It was co-founded by three Nablus-born locals, Salem Hantoli and Samah Atout, together with Canadian Jeremy Wildeman who while volunteering in West Bank education in 2002 was caught up in the violence.
According to Project Hope's mission statement their aim is to support and empower Palestinian youth through learning, the same principle that guides the work today.
In 2013 Project Hope hosted 144 international volunteers from 19 countries, the majority from the United States, France and Britain.
Depending on demand, classes and workshops typically focus on languages (English and French), information technology and the arts, including drama and photography.
