Food security and livelihoods

Caritas Jerusalem aims at helping Palestinian people to realize their full potential through economic development.

Our projects focus on empowering vulnerable members of the Palestinian society including women and rural communities. Food security activities aim at ensuring a sustainable access to food for families in need, and include small scale farming and small business initiatives. Caritas Jerusalem also implements projects that provide job opportunities.

The Food Security, Livelihoods and Development Program aims to contribute to the social and economic empowerment of poor families and marginalized areas, through the implementation of small income-generating projects, support for agricultural projects, community projects, and water projects, and providing professional and administrative training programs for target groups, among others.
