Our Impact To Date: $1.4 million in sub-grants to local Palestinian grassroots NGOs. 26 grassroots community projects launched and led by 560 Ruwwad Youth Leaders. Over 16,000 Palestinian youth benefiting from basic humanitarian aid and civic education programs. More than 7,500 adult men and women receiving food and medical aid, small business training, and agricultural supplies. 260 Gaza farmers increasing their  household incomes, after getting Ruwwad farm equipment and hands-on training.     “Before I volunteered in the National Youth Corps, I often felt inadequate. I am blind in one eye, and so I lived in a kind of isolation. But now, in spite of my disability and my suffering, I feel I can be a leader. I feel important, and I feel like my life is better, because now I’m working to improve the lives of others…through Ruwwad youth-led projects”. - Jehad, Ruwwad Youth Leader, Nablus
