UNRWA Programs

Education

UNRWA operates one of the largest school systems in the Middle East and was the first school system in the region to accomplish gender parity. UNRWA schools have been the main provider of basic education to Palestine refugees for over 60 years, helping Palestinians become one of the best-educated societies in the region. UNRWA also operates a number of vocational training programs that help refugees secure employment.

Microfinance

UNRWA's microfinance department promotes economic development and alleviates poverty among Palestine refugees and other poor and marginalized groups by providing them with significant income-generating opportunities.

Infrastructure and Camp Improvement

The infrastructure and camp improvement program improves the physical and social environment of UNRWA refugee camps through a participatory, community-driven planning approach, rather than relief.
