Supporting Nablus
Nablus is the commercial centre of Palestine and is a focus for education and agriculture. Its economy has been hit by over 50 years of military occupation. The people are amazing but are limited by constraints of travel, trade and freedom. They struggle on with enthusiasm and fortitude. We help by supporting education and agriculture.
