An Nour blind school for girls

This school in Nablus takes in blind girls and teach them to become independent in all aspects of their life. They learn to cook, shop, knit, they study and some will go to university. We have donated money to the school. 

Yanoun Primary School and Yanoun School Bus

Yanoun is a little hamlet 12km south east of Nablus. It is surrounded by the illegal settlement of Itamar. They have a primary school in the village to which we donated money to buy basic equipment.

The older children have to travel to the near town of Aqraba for secondary education. There is no public transport and the hour walk is not safe. The village has a school bus which was donated to them but it needed repair and insurance which the villagers could not afford. We subsidised the bus with the help of the Woodcraft Folk in Scotland which donated money towards this project. 

Friends of Nablus and Surrounding Areas (known as FONSA) is a registered Scottish charity No. SC038502
