For almost three decades ICAHD has been building homes, a community center and agricultural structures, not as humanitarian projects but as joint acts of resistance to displacement with the Palestinian communities and families who welcome us in. Rebuilding homes demolished by the Israeli authorities and strengthening the Palestinians’ presence on the land enables them to persevere in extremely violent and repressive conditions – to remain sumud, steadfast in their homes, on their land, in their country.
Today, as Israel moves to annex up to 82% of the West Bank, our Sumud Project is more urgent than ever. Since October 7th 2023, demolitions of homes, other community and farming structures, as well as wells, irrigation pipes and other vital infrastructure, have spiraled; massive tracts of land have been expropriated as settler gangs drive Palestinians out of their towns, villages and agricultural communities. Our Palestinian partners in the Jordan Valley, the Hebron district and in E-1 have approached ICAHD as a matter of survival. We are therefore redoubling our efforts to provide the material conditions they need to sustain their presence in their homes and lands.
Join our efforts in support of the besieged Palestinian people. Support our Sumud Project.
PLEASE DONATE through our ICAHD chapters enabling us to buy tents or materials for simple structures that can be quickly rebuilt. Please include 'Sumud' and your name within the payment reference.
The cost of a canvas tent for a family is $3,500 and the cost of a concrete foundation is $1,500.
