Team Hope

The House of Hope Vision School team is passionately committed to making a positive impact to the children of Palestine

Meet the Team

House of Hope is made by Palestinians for Palestinians. We are also almost entirely female staff. One of the two leaders that co-founded our organization is a woman, and 80% of our team is female. This is intentional. We believe women are the leaders of Palestine. They are the mothers, grandmothers, sisters, and strength of our communities. That’s why we invest in Palestinian women, working to elevate their careers and communal standing.
