Program Coordinator

The Young Women’s Christian Association in Ramallah (YWCA) was established in 1985 to respond to the everincreasing needs of the Ramallah governorate population for the quality services the YWCA has been offering since then.

The YWCA supports and aspires to create women leadership especially among young women and girls, to realize their full rights and capabilities, and to promote and advance their full participation in decision making on equal footing with men and in all aspects of their lives as they contribute to building a democratic and free civil society.
