This playground is three-stories high, with numerous activity panels, and structures for climbing, crawling, sliding and imaginative play for a wide range of ages.
Learn
For over twenty years, PfP built playgrounds and recreational spaces for Palestinian children living under a foreign military occupation or in refugee camps outside of Palestine. Since the genocide in Gaza began in 2023, we shifted our focus to meet the dire needs of children there, finally settling on education. We have established two schools, serving nearly 1000 students now, with plans to expand to more. Please see our social media for updates. In cooperation with local education authorities, our staff teach the primary school curriculum, including Arabic, English, Maths, and Science. We provide the books, school supplies, uniforms, and when available, nutritional support. We also employ psychosocial and enrichment activities on a daily basis.

Ramallah – Mashjar Juthour | مشجَر جذور
2014-2016 PfP partnered with Mashjar Juthour to build an amphitheater and we continue to work with this excellent organization on some of their projects. Mashjar Juthor is a “natural reserve that provides much needed space for cultivating the trees of Palestine while also reminding local communities of their very basic and necessary relationship to nature”.
