Since 2010 · Bethlehem refugee camps
Together toward a dignified and inclusive life for people with disability, women and girls
A Palestinian development association working since 2010 in the refugee camps of Bethlehem (Aida, Al-Azza, Dheisheh) to rehabilitate persons with disability and to empower and protect women and girls.
Welcome
Who We Are
Noor Association for People with Disabilities is a registered Palestinian non-profit organization (registration number BL-3394-C), based in Aida Refugee Camp in Bethlehem. It was founded in 2010 through an initiative led by mothers of children with disabilities from the Aida and Azza camps, in response to an urgent need: mothers who had to travel long distances to access rehabilitation services for their children. The association obtained official registration from the Ministry of Interior in 2015, and has grown to become the only specialized institution providing comprehensive rehabilitation services within Aida Camp.
