Who we are & where we work Founded in 1994, we are a British charity set up to empower Palestinians to face their challenges and hardships in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and in the refugee camps of Jordan and Lebanon. Since 2011, we have been working with partners in Syria to provide assistance to those caught in the conflict. We pride ourselves on finding solutions that not only provide immediate relief to Palestinians in need, but also pave the way for long-term development prospects. We have worked tirelessly for over 20 years, ensuring that Interpal is a well-established and trusted development agency working with and for the people of Palestine.

our impact Every year...
Our Medical Aid Fund helps poor patients to get much-needed treatment, allowing them to return to work or studies and improve their quality of life. The work of the Fund has also improved the health sector in general, providing experience to health staff and income for struggling hospitals and clinics.
Our Education Aid programmes provide thousands of disadvantaged children and students with the means to succeed. We provide school kits, fees and uniforms for Palestinian students, while supporting schools with computers, generators and scientific equipment.

Our Community Development programmes aim to prioritise the longterm development of Palestinian society by focusing on increasing economic independence, the quality of local infrastructure, freedom of movement, access to housing and psychological well-being.
