Teams on Progress

The football teams from Jafra would not be able to pursue their mission and to succeed without your donations. In fact, because of you, Jafra could keep renting the football pits and paying the trainers to work with the various teams twice a week.

Jafra football teams are now invited to events and tournaments outside of the Palestinian camps as well, which is a remarkable milestone that deserves to be highlighted and a wonderful experience for the young players who often spend their entire time within the camps.

Jafra football teams from the different Palestinian camps frequently win cups, which is a testimony to their excellent practices, teamwork, and positive atmosphere within their children and adolescents groups.

The young athletes are grateful for the chance to play a sport they enjoy, compete with others, and develop into active people while avoiding the risks of playing in the streets and becoming victims of unhealthy coping mechanisms like violence and drugs.

With the upcoming donations, Jafra will be able to keep running its football program, and hope being able to offer football shoes at the right size for any child or youth from Jafra teams who needs one.

Once again, thank you!
