Peace with Justice: Olive Tree Planting

For over 4,000 years, olive trees have been known as an international symbol of peace. To “Keep Hope Alive,” the YWCA of Palestine and the YMCA of East Jerusalem are carrying out a joint campaign to replant olive trees from areas where they have been uprooted as a punishment policy by the Israeli military on Palestinians. For many farmers, olive trees were a sole income source for their families. Your gift covers the cost of a young tree, distribution, planting, and info for farmers on the best techniques for tree care.
