Giving Tuesday for Education and Hope

In a time when the people of Palestine face unimaginable challenges — in Gaza, the West Bank, and across the region — hope continues to find a way forward through education.

Together, this Giving Tuesday, we can keep hope alive — one scholarship, one student, one story at a time. To make your gift of education go even further, we have a dollar-for-dollar match of $30,000.

Together, we can continue to open doors for young people across Palestine—nurturing artists, designers, and leaders who bring light and life to their communities. Your gift today helps ensure that the door to education stays open — even in the hardest of times.

FUNDRAISING PURPOSE

  • Giving Hope To The Future

    At Dar al-Kalima University, that hope took center stage as students, families, and faculty gathered to celebrate a milestone that represents far more than academic achievement — the awarding of life-changing scholarships for the new academic year.

  • Providing Scholarships

    Through your support of Bright Stars of Bethlehem, these scholarships are made possible. They open doors that once seemed out of reach and make dreams come alive. For many students, they mean the difference between a dream deferred and a dream realized.

  • Equal Opportunity For All

    This year, an inspiring 38.5% of Dar al-Kalima students received scholarships — a testament to the university’s unwavering commitment to equity, creativity, and opportunity.

As Rev. Dr. Mitri Raheb, a Lutheran pastor who’s the president of Dar al-Kalima and founder of Bright Stars of Bethlehem, says "Education is the cornerstone of a prosperous and creative society. His words ring true now more than ever — because investing in education is investing in hope itself.

THANK YOU FOR MAKING A DIFFERENCE

“Palestinians, especially young Palestinians, are too smart and the country is too small. Some with their great talents arehere being given the chance to monetize their knowledge, to earn their own living and eventually to employ people... It gives me great hope. It energizes me today.” - Zahi Khouri
