Children&Youth Sport in Palestinian Refugee Camps

It's the World Cup season and the young participants to football activities increase. 

First of all and thanks to your generous donations, Jafra football teams could afford to have their very own uniforms. Designed especially for them, it gives them an increased sense of belonging in their team and they can proudly defend their colors against their competitors. All Jafra teams, feminine and masculine, are now easily identifiable by the several partners in the camps. As children and youth participants are giving importance to their costumes, they were very happy and thankful towards the donors.

Furthermore, while moving through the camps to the football pit for practice, children and youth can be identified by their pairs thanks to the uniform, which also drew more players to join the Jafra football teams. Each Jafra center in the several camps welcomed new members to the extent that their capacity allowed and the remaining children and youth are placed on a waiting list. By hiring more instructors and renting more football pit spaces, Jafra would be able to form more teams and provide more participants with a chance to benefit from the activity.

Jafra continues to strive to be able to operate football and sporting events for the long term, help more and more kids and youngsters, and give them a productive way to channel their energy. For the football initiative to continue, the Jafra football teams and staff are hoping for further support.

The 2022 football World Cup event that takes place in a Middle-Eastern nation has increased the community's interest in football, and Jafra would love to be able to provide place to every child and young person requesting it.
