Goals, Objectives, and Core Values

Goals and Objectives

Anar is dedicated to empowering Palestinian children who have been adversely affected by oppression and conflict. Our goal is to foster their well-being, support their healing process, and assist them in realizing their full potential. By prioritizing the psychosocial well-being and empowerment of these children, we believe that we can make a positive impact on their lives and in their community.

To achieve this goal, we have set the following specific objectives:

Objective 1: To provide access to inclusive and gender-sensitive community-based psychosocial support programs for Palestinian children affected by violence and oppression.

Objective 2: To promote collective psychosocial support and healing by raising awareness and building capacity within the community, which includes practitioners, community leaders, youth, and volunteers.

Objective 3: To facilitate cultural and creative programming and interventions that promote community resilience, expression, and healing.
