We will achieve this by basing health practice and research on the philosophy of right to health approaches and the holistic framework of people’s rights where our focus is not only on the mind, body and spirit, but also on the context were individuals live

* PFCD Core Programs

PFCD’s core programs consist of initiatives and projects that respond to arousing needs. PFCD’s work represents a dynamic, responsive, and innovative set of opportunities for Palestinian community to achieve positive change and development.

The core programs are:

An integral part of PFCD’ vision is to build the capacities of youth in general and females in particular. The program aims to contributing to the promotion and improvement of education, civic education, human rights and public awareness.

In addition, enhance their educational and professional abilities to play an active role in the development of the Palestinian community.

- Communication and Cultural Program
PFCD’s commitment to access to information as key motor of promoting its goals reflects its vision in creating a public dialogue. The program aims to contributing to the promotion and improvement of communication, dialog and culture.
