Jafra Foundation

Jafra Foundation for Relief and Youth Development is a non-partisan, secular, nonprofit Organization, headquartered in Lebanon. Jafra was founded in late 2002 in Yarmouk Camp by the grassroots community efforts of Palestinian refugees. Being youths themselves, the founders realized the need to develop the capacities of Palestinian youths, paving their way for a better future. Building on nine years of experience in youth capacity development, Jafra expanded both its programs and geographical coverage in 2011 with the effort of responding to the emerging, urgent needs of the most vulnerable population affected Crisis - now serving these people in need across 11 programming sectors.
