About

Welfare Association for Youth (WAY) is a youth network initiated by Welfare Association (WA) in 2009. WAY is spearheaded by young minds who passionately believe their generation has the interest and tools in building a strong, sustainable, and self-determined Palestinian community abroad and on the ground. WAY focuses on enabling Palestinian youth to become active philanthropists working towards sustainable development and humanitarian support to the Palestinian people. Climbing4Palestine was started by WAY in 2013 to spread awareness and fundraise for youth in Palestine.

Climbing 4 Palestine 2015: Kilimanjaro Challenge

From Elbrus to Kilimanjaro, our Climbing4Palestine team ventures to yet another summit to help support the Art Bus project. The Art Bus, staffed with well-trained experts in delivering expressive arts therapy, challenges limitations imposed by the occupation, driving between cities, villages and refugee camps in Palestine to reach children, work with them and their caregivers. This year, our team; passionate & enthusiastic, is set to start their journey to conquer the highest summit in Africa; 19,341ft, on 19/02/2015. The team aims at raising $1 for each foot elevation: $19341 (£12734). Every dollar counts as it brings us closer to our goal.
