INITIATIVES TO SUPPORT
Olive Kids
DONATE: https://olivekids.org.au/donate/
Olive Kids is an Australian Foundation dedicated to support the children of Palestine. Our vision is a future where Palestinian kids can live free, full, and safe childhoods.
Olive Kids was founded in 2007 by Palestinian Australians who want to make a difference to the lives of children in Palestine. We are run solely by a passionate board of volunteers from a range of professions and backgrounds, from lawyers to public servants to campaigners.
We work in a range of different areas, providing financial aid, healthcare, education, and other support to children living in Palestine. All our work is conducted in collaboration with our partner organisations on the ground – it is based on the needs that these organisations identify, and our work is designed and delivered in a way that ensures we build local capacity, support local businesses, and enable self-determination.

Bukjeh
Bukjeh translates to ‘a small pack of belongings carried by travelers’. We encourage our communities to share their art and stories, embracing the diverse range of storytelling forms-spoken word, music, songs, visual arts and language.
Bukjeh builds social cohesion, harmony and inclusion of those who have been displaced, creating a culturally safe space by embracing and respecting diversity of background, experience, ideas, thoughts and feelings. Bukjeh delivers a range of projects and activities to audiences all over Australia through virtual and in person programs & projects.
