Specialized Leadership Training Program for Al-Quds and Palestine (Basma)

We believe that the Palestinian cause is a humanitarian cause that brings together all the honest people of the world. We also believe that the path to victory and liberation is achieved through carefully done work that requires preparing a generation that is trained in and qualified for leadership. This program aims to discover young women's capabilities and refine them with leadership skills and in-depth knowledge on Al-Quds so that they would be able to lead the work for Al-Quds and Palestine in their countries. Not to mention, establishing projects that will leave a clear mark (Basma) on the Ummah in general and on Palestine in particular.
