Palestine

Picture shows part of the destruction in Tulkarem May 2024.

Amidst despair and devastation, we have developed the Urgent Intervention Programme in response to the needs of the people. We reached more than 4000 people.

The impact continues to be devastating, with sanitation systems uprooted, electricity and water supplies destroyed and villages isolated into military zones, leading to severe food and cash shortages.

At the time of writing, Logica has established a network of grassroots community leaders consisting of 19 coordinators across the West Bank. These coordinators have a wide range of skills to help support families affected by ongoing military practices.

Our current activities focus on Tulkarem, Jenin, and Nablus. In this profound crisis, we recognise the suffering of the people. The least we can do is to provide care and basic support for the survival of many children and women. And support the grassroots coordinators who are working in very risky conditions in these dark times. We provide support on different levels based on the needs of the affected neighbourhoods focusing on:

Sessions with children and mothers: Using art and sport as tools to reduce anxiety and stress. We reached more than 2000 people.
Sustenance: We provide basic needs for families, focusing on children, orphans and the disabled ( Milk and diapers).
We give a small amount of cash monthly to 60-70 families focusing on widowed women with 4-5 children.
Training: we conduct continuous training for different target groups to equip them to deal with the urgency in their areas.
Workshops and regular meetings: we conduct regular training for our coordinating team to empower them, update working plans and set up priorities.
We provide materials, cash and professional consulting to support food businesses in isolated villages to ensure the continuity of food production.

Our intervention programme is designed to provide support and remain active on the ground. When security and peace are finally achieved, our team and coordinators restlessly prepare to play a fundamental role in strengthening social cohesion and rehabilitating children, women and youth to reach 10,000 persons.

The LOGICA Community Centre was established in Palestine in 2012. Since then, we have implemented several programmes in the West Bank aimed at empowering Palestinian communities on social, economic and environmental levels. We feel responsible for fulfilling our commitment to women and children's urgent and desperate needs.
