Project Story
-
Children displaced from Tulkarm and Nur Shams refugee camps are growing up in conditions marked by uncertainty, fear, and disruption. Uprooted from their homes and routines, many carry the emotional weight of trauma and anxiety.
While access to shelter and basic needs is critical, these children also lack safe spaces where they can feel secure, express themselves, and rebuild a sense of normalcy. Without this support, their emotional well-being, confidence, and ability to learn can be deeply affected.
-
The Basira Initiative creates safe, supportive environments for children aged 7–15 to heal, learn, and grow.
The program combines psychosocial support, interactive education, and creative activities to help children process their experiences and regain confidence. Through storytelling, reading and writing programs, and hands-on learning, children are encouraged to express themselves and think critically.
Basira also builds a wider support system by engaging university student volunteers and developing simple educational guides to enhance learning. In addition, the initiative extends to families by empowering mothers with educational support, helping reinforce a nurturing environment at home.
To amplify children’s voices, the project documents their stories and shares them through digital platforms and a short documentary ensuring their experiences are seen and heard.

For children who have experienced displacement, healing goes beyond meeting physical needs; it requires restoring a sense of safety, voice, and belonging.
Basira helps children rebuild confidence, strengthen resilience, and reconnect with their ability to learn and dream. By supporting both children and their families, the initiative creates a lasting circle of care that extends beyond the classroom.
At its heart, Basira is about giving children something they urgently need: not just support for today, but hope for what comes next.
