Arab Women Union

The Arab Women’s Union in Beit Sahour stands as one of the city’s most significant institutions, initially established with the aim of supporting working women by providing kindergarten and nursery services. This enabled women to pursue employment while ensuring their children received proper care and education. Additionally, the Union offers classes covering a range of topics vital to women’s empowerment, including cooking, childcare, and women’s health.

Over time, the Union expanded its scope of services to encompass support for individuals with special needs. The Basma Centre, operated by the Arab Women’s Union, offers assistance in special education, self-help skills, daily living activities, behavioral difficulties, and speech therapy, catering to the diverse needs of the community.

Furthermore, the Union operates a hostel that serves as a welcoming accommodation option for visitors to Beit Sahour. Income generated from the hostel contributes to supporting various projects and initiatives undertaken by the Union, thereby enhancing its ability to serve the community.
