Providing community-based development projects for residents of Palestinian villages in the West Bank

The Narjes Community project works within the structure of the greater community of Wadi Foquin city council. We do our part to assist where there is need and we have people, understanding and expertise. Several people of the Narjes Community have qualifications and expertise that they share in the community.

The goals of the Guest House project are: 1. Creation of jobs for men & women 2 . Enable visitors to stay in the village country side among local farmers 3. Provide farmers with opportunity to sell products 4. Protect the land from annexation for settlement development

The location of the village of Wadi Foquin is 8 miles from the town of Bethlehem. The Guest House will offer an opportunity for local people to share their cultural and social values with international visitors while creating a new economic program for the village. Note: The Guest House project will include 6 rooms constructed with wood in a simple design. Each room will include two beds and a bathroom. Costs for the construction of each room will be $7,000 and include labor, materials, and furnishings. The Guest House will be managed by Narjes CDP and will generate revenue through the rental of the rooms. The land will be donated by one of the farmers in the village supporting Narjes CDP. Rooms will be built one at a time as funding is received.
