El-Lid Charitable Society

Founded: 1998
Project: Informal Education Summer Camp
Location: Nablus and North West Bank

A grant from The Jerusalem Fund Humanitarian Link enabled El-Lid Charitable Society to conduct its informal community classes for students who need more assistance and support in school. 150 young high school students, both boys and girls, met at least twice a week at El-Lid Training & Human Capacity Development Center in order to take important classes (such as English, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry) and discussĀ  how to improve their future academically. Such tutoring allows students who come from low income households to pass their final general examination with higher grades that qualify them for better colleges.
