About the project
Wujood is an Arabic term meaning existence and presence. The term is a depiction of the resilience of Jerusalem’s Palestinian inhabitants who are struggling to claim their right to live in their city and preserve their Palestinian identity. Wujood, Strengthening the Resilience of Vulnerable Communities in East Jerusalem is phase II of this program funded by the European Union (EU) and co-financed by Oxfam. This multi-sectoral project is implemented by 4 Palestinian organizations who are working with Palestinian members of the community to strengthen women’s rights, emergency response, economic empowerment for women, and the identity of youth. Program activities are taking place in some of East Jerusalem’s most vulnerable communities including Silwan, the Old City, Sur Baher, Esawiyyeh, and Al- Tur. Implementing partners include: the Women’s Centre for Legal Aid and Counselling (WCLAC), the Palestinian Medical Relief Society (PMRS), and the Palestinian Counselling Centre (PCC), and the Palestinian Agriculture Development Association (PARC).
