I am so excited to be participating in the second 'Hiking for PACES' campaign; a 4 day hiking fundraising adventure in Norway bringing together 50 PACES friends and supporters from around the world on a mission to raise awareness about the organization, and funds to support its core program. Last year, the hiking team raised over $350,000 in funds to support the PACES' program. Help us in making this possible again! 

WHY PACES?

- PACES provides healthy, structured after-school sports programs for Palestinian girls and boys ages 7-16 years, living in refugee camps and most marginalized and vulnerable areas in Palestine and Jordan, and Lebanon free of charge

- PACES builds local capacity by training and hiring leaders in the local communities as coaches to train the children

- PACES also partners with local clubs and sports centers which facilitate the delivery of the program and outreach to the target beneficiaries 

- All PACES programs promote gender equality, and have successfully reached and maintained a 50% female participation rate 

- Since establishment, PACES has reached out and served over 30,000 children, 2,000 young female and male coaches, and over 100 local sports clubs and other community based organizations

- In 2017, the program cycle ended having benefited 6,240 children, 532 coaches and assistant coaches, and 93 clubs and local partners.

You can easily be part of this incredible cause by helping support PACES (follow the link below to learn about their inspiring programs and initiatives). You're just a click away from empowering marginalized Palestinian girls and boys and making a difference to their futures. Any small or BIG amount will help. Thank you So much.
