Geneva, 11 November 2002

Dear Colleagues,

The on-going cycle of violence, closures and severe economic decline have badly affected the educational sector and school system in the Occupied Territories. In addition to inaccessibility of schools due to frequent closures of Palestinian towns, families find themselves unable to pay tuition fees for children attending private Christian schools that make up some 12% of the Palestinian school system. These schools are a safe haven for both Christian and Muslim children and they keep the door open to all children regardless of their religious background.

Under the prevailing political and humanitarian conditions, and the resulting poor socio-economic conditions, there is a pressing need for assisting families in covering partial and, in exceptional cases, full tuition fees.

ACT members, The Evangelical Lutheran Church, The Greek Orthodox Church and the Lutheran World Federation/World Service Vocational Training Center seek financial support for the families who cannot pay for tuition fees for their children/students.

They will soon be joined by the Anglican Church which also runs a number of schools in Palestinian towns.

ACT is a worldwide network of churches and related agencies meeting human need through coordinated emergency response.

Palestinian Territories – Assistance to Schools 3 MEPL-23 Appeal

BACKGROUND

The private schools in Palestine are predominantly run by Christian organizations and make up roughly 12% of the total school system. United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) Schools make up around 10% of the total school system. Around 78% are state schools.

The prevailing political conditions have been posing very serious problems since the uprising (Intifada) in September 2000. All West Bank and Gaza strip towns have suffered to varying extents from dramatic unemployment resulting from the airtight Israeli blockade. The tourism industry has come to a halt and towns, which relied almost totally on this industry, such as Bethlehem and the surrounding areas, have turned into ghost-like towns. Palestinian laborers working in Israel lost their jobs. Business ventures, restaurants, hotels, souvenir shops, travel agencies and many others declared bankruptcy. This affected the schools financially as parents could no longer afford the already church subsidized school fees. This has placed a very heavy burden on school administrations and the church. Where under normal conditions the tuition fees cover nearly 35% to 40% of the total running cost, the prevailing situation reduced this figure to nearly 20% in the scholastic year 2001/2002 and is expected to reduce it to less than 10% in the current scholastic year 2002/2003.

The financial obstacles are only part of the story. Traumatized by events of a wartime situation, Palestinian youth are entrenched in a collective depression and are increasingly subject to committing violent acts and/or are being victims of violence. To offset these risks, Palestinian youth need to participate in activities that are creative and care taking rather than destructive. This has placed an additional financial burden on the Christian schools, where special extra-curricula programs have been devised to deal with trauma, in addition to counseling.

Justification for Support

Traditionally, The Palestinian school system has been based on rote-learning and memorization. The concept of private Christian schools was conceived with the idea of offering an alternative to the traditional system through a new educational concept that is based on a holistic approach to learning. Participatory learning, creativity and imagination lie at the heart of this approach.

Private schools in general offer comprehensive and quality education and training which is often lacking in state schools. Other qualities include:

They are co-educational promoting positive and healthy gender interaction preparing children for the real world. They empower socially and economically marginalized families through offering their children equal educational opportunities. They enroll students of all denominations and religions without distinction. This is crucial for the building of a healthy pluralistic society and for promoting tolerance among the different faiths. Many offer a non-traditional holistic approach to learning and education. They promote free expression, non-violence, tolerance, environmental awareness and democracy, in a society badly in need of these values, thus preparing the children to be responsible and upstanding members of their society. The schools have no intention of imposing the Christian faith on others, nevertheless, Christian values and the Christian identity are promoted and applied in the schools. For a Christian population not exceeding 2% of the total population in the country, the Christian private schools offer a safe haven for many Christian families. At the same time, they are in demand by many Muslim families (including devoted Muslims) that seek quality education for their children. They raise the self-esteem of students through responding to their intellectual, emotional and physical needs.

Palestinian Territories – Assistance to Schools 4 MEPL-23 Appeal

They discover and encourage the individual potentials, talents, abilities and interests of students.

Under the prevailing conditions, parents who were able to pay tuition fees are no longer able to do so. Ecumenical financial support is very much needed in order to help needy families cover tuition fees for their children. These schools have been facing a huge challenge since the year of 2000. This challenge is now even bigger than ever before as the prevailing political situation is constantly deteriorating.

The importance of the work of the Christian schools has been emphasized, and the need for it to continue and prosper is vital.

I. REQUESTING ACT MEMBER

Greek Orthodox Church

II. BACKGROUND INFORMATION on the SCHOOLS

Orthodox schools are open to both Muslim and Christian inhabitants alike. They exist under the supervision of the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate.

The Patriarchate provides for 5 different coeducational schools in the West Bank with approximately 1,800 children. As any other private organization, the schools play an important role in helping to shape the identity of its students, whether as Christians or Muslims. The schools are multi-religious, providing quality education to all its members, regardless of their religious, social or ethnical backgrounds. The schools try to provide a healthy environment with a holistic approach to learning coalesced around a core of values grounded in a belief of justice and democracy. They nurture the ideas of understanding, reflecting a set of norms and values seeking co-operation, collaboration, participation and ultimately respect of others. The students are given the opportunity to express freely what they think or consider to be right.

The schools are run on a non-profit basis, at the cost US $ 1.5 million dollars a year. However, during the last two years, owing to the prevailing political situation, the payment of tuition fees has decreased to 20 – 25% of the total cost. Consequently, the Patriachate has been facing great difficulties in covering school expenses. It should be mentioned that half of the church income was collected from the pilgrims visiting the Holy Land and, in the light of the recent development in the area, income is scarce. In order for the Patriachate to carry out its obligation towards its community, which represents 60% of the total Christians in the Holy Land, funds are urgently needed.

Due to the difficulties and obstacles under the prevailing conditions in the Holy Land, the schools face a strenuous task of inhibiting violence. Children are exposed to an aggressive environment that reveals all sorts of behavioral and developmental conflicts. Thus, it is the duty of the schools to at least minimize the effect of such an environment on the child. And so, this reflects the importance of the continuity of the Orthodox schools and their preservation from collapse.

Christian schools are and have always been highly respected and sought out by Muslim families who seek a Christian setting to the learning of their children because of the quality of education and healthy environment they provide. The demand for and entry into Orthodox schools is high and therefore there is an obligation to keep these high standards.

III. GOAL and OBJECTIVES

Palestinian Territories – Assistance to Schools 5 MEPL-23 Appeal

Evangelical Lutheran Church in Jordan

II. BACKGROUND INFORMATION on the SCHOOLS

The Evangelical Lutheran Church in Jordan runs a number of educational Programs in the major West Bank towns and in Jerusalem.

The West Bank programs include the Beit Sahour Lutheran School in Beit Sahour, the Dar Al-Kalima School in Bethlehem, the Talitha Kumi School in Beit Jala, the Boarding School in Beit Jala and the School of Hope in Ramallah.

The Lutheran schools are built on a long tradition of education that has been established over 150 years ago, making these schools some of the oldest in the country. Through the innovative programs that they are offering, the Lutheran schools prepare their students to face the challenges of the 21st Century. The mission of the Lutheran Schools and Programs is to offer quality education and training for all Palestinians and not only those who can offered it. To do so, the Lutheran schools are in need of partners and friends in order to subsidize the programs.

Traditionally, the Palestinian School System has been based on rote learning and memorization. The Lutheran Schools have gradually begun to offer an alternative to the traditional system through a new educational concept that is based on a holistic approach, where participatory learning, creativity and imagination lie at the heart of this approach. This approach is most visible at the Dar Al-Kalima School in Bethlehem.

The number of students in the schools and the boarding school mentioned above during the scholastic year 2001/2002 reached 2,047 students. This number dropped to 1,950 students during the current scholastic year 2002/2003 as a result of the prevailing political situation, which led to very poor economic conditions forcing many parents to transfer their children from private to state schools. Quality education for some

Palestinian Territories – Assistance to Schools 7 MEPL-23 Appeal families seems to no longer be on their list of priorities. Additionally, the tight blockade imposed by the Israelis on all West Bank towns and villages makes it virtually impossible for many children to get to their schools.

The percentage of Christians and Moslems in the schools mentioned above is 67% and 33% respectively. The percentage of girls and boys is 46% and 54% respectively.

III. GOAL and OBJECTIVES

The overall goal of this program is to provide Palestinian children and youth (both Christian and Muslim) with a comprehensive quality education.

Objectives: provide support to students who cannot pay their tuition fees fully offer support to impoverished parents who cannot pay their tuition fees fully

IV. BENEFICIARIES (numbers & locations)

A total of 1,950 students in the Beit Sahour Lutheran School in Beit Sahour, Dar Al-Kalima School in Bethlehem, Talitha Kumi School in Beit Jala, the Boarding School in Beit Jala and the School of Hope in Ramallah.

Criteria for Beneficiary Selection: School management will select students eligible for support on the basis of the following criteria: - neither mother or father are employed - the child is an orphan - family with more than one child wish special needs (retarded/disabled) - the number of children for which tuition fees need to be paid exceeds three - the household is headed by only one person without income/employment (mother or father) - there is no support from family members.

I. REQUESTING ACT MEMBER INFORMATION

Lutheran World Federation/World Service-Jerusalem for the Lutheran World Federation- Vocational Training Center (LWF-VTC) in Beit Hanina (Jerusalem-West Bank).

II. IMPLEMENTING ACT MEMBER & PARTNER INFORMATION

The Lutheran World Federation began its work in Palestine in 1948 in the area of Vocational Training. The LWF focuses on providing vocational training for refugees and disadvantaged Palestinians. The LWF-VTC has trained thousands of Palestinians by providing them with employable skills, enabling them to participate in the workforce and to support themselves and their families. In September 2000, women were introduced into the center for the first time, as part of a new training program in Electronics/Telecommunications. This training program was presented as part of the LWF understanding of the importance of gender equity, and the need to open equal opportunities for women in training. In 2002, of the 193 trainees at the LWF-VTC, 25 are women.

Description of ACT Member’s Implementing Partners The LWF/WS-Jerusalem is an ACT implementing partner and has been providing an emergency response in Palestine for the past two years. This response has been primarily through the Augusta Victoria Hospital (AVH) and the Village Health Clinics (VHC’s). The emergency situation with its ongoing conflict has now progressed to the point that the provision of a positive vocational training experience for

Palestinian Territories – Assistance to Schools 9 MEPL-23 Appeal youth is an emergency response. The deteriorating economic conditions have created a situation where many Palestinian families who send their sons and daughters for training can no longer pay the fees for this training. This in turn is creating a financial crisis for the LWF-VTC.

III. DESCRIPTION of the EMERGENCY SITUATION

Background The LWF-VTC has continued to operate in very difficult circumstances. The focus of the LWF-VTC is the training of Palestinian youth between the ages of 16-18 years old. The LWF-VTC feels that it is at this time that the Center needs to expand its opportunities for youth to learn a skill and focus their energies in a positive direction. In the past 2 years, the LWF-VTC has expanded its enrolment from 102 trainees in 2000 to 193 trainees in 2002. The LWF Mission supports this effort but it is creating an increasingly difficult financial situation, as the families of the trainees cannot pay fees for the trainees.

Since the second Intifada (uprising) in September 2000, the political situation has been declining steadily. The socio-economic conditions are directly affected by the political situation. Schools are impacted directly as a result of the prevailing conditions and families who were punctual in paying tuition fees are no longer able to pay a large proportion or any of the required fees. This in turn has placed the LWF-VTC in financial difficulty. At a time when the LWF-VTC needs to expand its ability to accept trainees and specifically more boarding students, the Center is affected by the severe financial deterioration of the Palestinian population it serves.

Impact on Human Lives Unemployment has soared, according to the UNCTAD Report, from 10% of the labour force in September 2000 to 29% by the end of March 2002, and 34% by July 2002; leaving at least 200,000 Palestinians of working age without a job. This number climbs to as many as 600,000 during curfews. The coping mechanisms of Palestinian families have been depleted - including savings that usually keep the family going for one to two months; the selling of wife’s jewellery and other precious belongings; support received from other members of the family who are in a better economic situation; transfers from family members living abroad are all means to bolster the family economically in times of need and crisis.

Locations For Your Proposed Response The LWF-VTC Trainees primarily come from the Occupied Palestinian Territories. They come from all over the West Bank areas including Jenin, Nablus, Hebron, Ramallah and Palestinian areas around Jerusalem. The LWF-VTC is located in Beit Hanina, which is presently occupied territory between Jerusalem and Ramallah.

IV. GOAL & OBJECTIVES

The LWF-VTC trains Palestinian youth who do not have other alternatives for education or training. These youth are often lacking strong self-image and confidence and are at high risk of becoming involved in the violence of the Al-Aqsa Intifada. The LWF-VTC creates an environment in which these youth gain confidence through learning a skilled trade. This keeps them focused in a positive manner for the two years of training and gives them the skills to be employed at the end of their training. The trainees are also much less at risk to be part of the ongoing violence when they are part of the LWF-VTC.

Goal: To provide as many youth as possible with a positive alternative to the ongoing violence and difficulties in Palestine while giving them skills to support themselves and their families.

Objectives:

Palestinian Territories – Assistance to Schools 10 MEPL-23 Appeal

Maintain viability of market relevant vocational training to Palestinian youth. Continue to expand the numbers of Palestinian youth participating in the LWF-VTC training programs. Provide housing (boarding) for Palestinian youth who cannot commute from their homes on the West Bank to the VTC.

V. TARGETED BENEFICIARIES

The beneficiaries of this Appeal will be the Palestinian youth who come to the LWF-VTC and their families. There are 193 trainees who are now enrolled in the 2-year program (25 females and 168 males). Palestinian society as a whole benefits from this program because of the values these trainees learn as well as their overall increased ability to become productive members of society.

The LWF-VTC is exploring ways to expand its programs to include more Palestinian youth. Some of the ways being explored include developing more capacity in the Boarding Section for students who come from difficult areas on the West Bank (part of this Appeal) and offering more one-year programs and afternoon programs for youth. A key benefit of the attendance at the LWF-VTC is that these youth are less likely to get into trouble with the Israeli Authorities.

The LWF-VTC was only able to accept about half of those who applied for the 2002-2003 class.

Criteria used in Beneficiary Selection The criteria for selection into the LWF-VTC programs is based on the completion of the 10th grade (ages 16-18 yrs). All trainees are Palestinians with an interest in learning a vocation. Priority is given to women, refugees and the poor.

Number of Targeted Beneficiaries According To Proposed Assistance The targeted beneficiaries are those who do not have the ability to pay their fees. This Emergency Appeal will provide funds so that the present trainees can earn their tuition through a work program. The trainees have the opportunity to work on various projects to pay for their training. The LWF-VTC does not provide charity to pay for fees except in unusual circumstances. These are all healthy young men and women who can work for their fees.

Additional funds will help the LWF-VTC cover some of the lost fees from the ongoing conflict in order to keep the Centre viable.

VI. PROPOSED EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE & IMPLEMENTATION

Description of Assistance

This proposal supports the LWF-VTC in two critical areas:

Providing support for Palestinians who do not have the ability to pay for vocational training for their sons and daughters. This will provide the funds for current trainees to earn their fees through a work program. This Appeal also helps to cover other fees that were not covered because of the Intifada.

Providing the needed support to expand the Boarding Section of the LWF-VTC. This allows the LWF-VTC to accept more trainees from West Bank areas that have problems commuting daily due to the restrictions (e.g. the Hebron area where trainees used to commute to the LWF-VTC, now this is impossible).

Palestinian Territories – Assistance to Schools 11 MEPL-23 Appeal

The LWF-VTC proposes to expand the existing Boarding Section to accept another 40 trainees during this ongoing emergency.

Implementation Description Per Activity Since the vocational training programs are already operational, they will continue to be functional. In order to continue to meet the Mission there is a need to provide a method for trainees to earn their fees. This can be facilitated through work at the LWF-VTC or on the LWF property in Jerusalem. Trainees clear stones from the olive groves, paint buildings, pick up trash, etc. The time they work is then credited to their fees at the rate of NIS 10 per hour worked. This program already has started but needs additional funds to make it viable for the needs of the trainees.

The LWF-VTC has an existing Boarding Section which will be expanded. Except for the civil work the LWF-VTC trainees will do the plumbing, carpentry, and metalwork adjacent to the existing boarding section. Most of this can be achieved through renovation of existing facilities, though there is also some new construction.

Transition from Emergency The ACT funding will help provide a special work program to support the trainees and the LWF-VTC and additional boarding during the present emergency. Once there is peace, the LWF-VTC will transition back to its normal program of providing vocational training with a reduced work program and the ability to accept more trainees from the more difficult areas of the West Bank.

VII. ADMINISTRATION, FINANCE, MONITORING & REPORTING

Administration The Vocational Training Center is fully functional and staffed to provide vocational training. The LWF Representative is responsible for this program. The LWF-VTC Director is responsible for the day-to-day functioning of the LWF-VTC.

Finance The LWF in Jerusalem is served by a fully staffed professional financial department. Each year a certified auditing firm audits the programs, including all donations. All money received by the LWF programs including the LWF-VTC is accounted for and used for the purposes for which it is designated. Standard, acceptable accounting practices are in place and reviewed during the annual audit.

ACT Funds will be accounted for as a separate grant and will be part of the annual audit.

Monitoring ACT Funds are identified for their specific purpose. The LWF-Jerusalem Accounting Department will be responsible for the receipt of funds, monitoring and assuring that these funds are used properly and that there is proper documentation. The Chief Finance Officer is responsible for the overall monitoring and financial reporting on these ACT Funds.

LWF will report separately on funds used for this emergency. It will adhere to the ACT Reporting Guidelines and will give updates periodically during this time of crisis.

VIII. IMPLEMENTATION TIMETABLE

The basic component of the work program for trainees of this ACT Appeal has already commenced and

Palestinian Territories – Assistance to Schools 12 MEPL-23 Appeal this request covers costs that will allow this program to continue and to expand to serve the Palestinians on the West Bank. The expansion of boarding facilities will commence when funds are available. The period of implementation will depend on the situation in this conflict, which may last several years. However, for purposes of planning the expected date of completion for this ACT Appeal has been set at 14 November 2003.

IX. CO-ORDINATION

The LWF-VTC co-ordinates efforts through the Palestinian Ministry of Education and the Palestinian Ministry of Labor. There is also ongoing communication and coordination with other vocational training centers that serve the Palestinian community.

LWF will co-operate with the other ACT implementing members and continue to work through the appropriate Palestinian Ministries.
