Shoroq wa-Amal (Sunrise and Hope)
Children's Club & Summer Camps, operated
by the Culture and Free Thought Association (a
women's organization), is located in the Khan
Younis Refugee Camp in the Gaza Strip. At
Shoroq wa-Amal, over 500 refugee children
engage in before or after school activities, such
as art, dance, music, sports, drama, reading,
science and play. CFTA also provides 20
week-long summer camps where over 700
children, aged 6 to 18, are welcomed. Many of
the camp activities are held at Shoroq wa-
Amal, the children’s center. Both the camps
and center provide safe and nurturing spaces
for the children to preserve something of their
childhood in the midst of violence and poverty.
Global Family funds support the children's
activities at summer camps and the Shoroq wa-
Amal center.
