Who we are
Musalaha means “Reconciliation” in Arabic.
We were started to support the work of Musalaha, based across Jerusalem and the West Bank. Their Executive Board of Palestinian and Israeli community leaders promote, facilitate, and teach reconciliation and unity within Israel Palestine.
The UK team is deeply inspired by the work of Musalaha.
We promote their model of reconciliation as an answer to the divisions within society in Israel Palestine, and own communities here in the UK. We look to support their work to ensure that their work can continue.
We support them through four key areas of work:
-
Prayer underpins everything we do. We host prayer meetings and circulate prayer requests informed by the needs of Musalaha in Israel Palestine
-
We publish resources and information on issues surrounding the Israel Palestine conflict and reconciliation
-
We fundraise to support the work of Musalaha in Israel Palestine. Only a very limited percentage of our funds go towards supporting operations in the UK.
-
We put on a range of open events throughout the year, often bringing over speakers directly involved in Musalaha’s work in Israel Palestine
What we fund
So far this year, we’ve sent £22,000 to programmes in Israel Palestine
How Our Funding Works
The vast majority of the generous donations we receive go directly to supporting reconciliation programmes in Israel and Palestine.
To keep everything running smoothly, transparently, and in line with monitoring guidelines, we use a simple grant application process. The Musalaha teams in Jerusalem or Bethlehem send us a clear, detailed plan outlining exactly what they need a lump sum of money for and how they plan to spend it. Our Trustees then review and happily agree to the grants, sending the funds straight to the team so they can continue their crucial work.
