About the Mission
Compassion without borders
Hands for Dream was established by Israeli and Palestinian humanitarians to ensure every child caught in conflict receives the same access to healing. Our teams coordinate critical services across both communities, guided by neutrality, transparency, and child safeguarding standards.
Healthcare
Mobile clinics, trauma informed care, and long-term therapy restore health and resilience.
Shelter & Safety
Safe housing, protection services, and family reunification programs reduce ongoing risk.
Peacebuilding
Dialogue labs and cultural exchanges nurture empathy and shared futures.
Our Approach
A coordinated pipeline of care
We design every intervention alongside community leaders to ensure dignity, cultural sensitivity, and measurable outcomes.
Integrated Case Management
Each child is paired with a bilingual social worker who maps needs, coordinates aid, and monitors progress through secure digital profiles.
Cross-Border Collaboration
Joint Israeli-Palestinian medical and education taskforces share resources, expertise, and referrals to ensure no region is left behind.
Evidence & Accountability
We invest in independent evaluations, UNICEF-aligned safeguarding protocols, and impact dashboards accessible to donors in real time.
