Post-War Recovery Healing • Skills • Livelihoods

Recover, rebuild, and restore dignity.

Rushd Academy’s post-war recovery pillar supports families with practical, community-based pathways: women’s empowerment, psychosocial support, and vocational training for reconstruction trades. The goal is simple: help people heal and earn — while rebuilding Gaza together.
