ReCap: The Refugee camp Project

Goals

• Reducing the effect of war and conflict on Palestinian refugee children.
• Increasing the awareness of the Palestinian refugee problem.
• Building human resources by motivating the medical students to become involved in NGO's and other organizations working in the field of Refugee health.
• Ensuring the understanding of the medical students for the needs and multiple health challenges faced by the refugee population, by raising awareness of the connection between psychosocial status and health.
• Conducting research on the mental health status of Palestinian refugee children.

Beneficaries and Target group

The direct beneficiaries are the medical students from Palestine and other countries. The end-point beneficiaries are the refugees who will benefit from the service that the training participants will provide after they have been trained and made sensitive to the crisis. The medical students who participate in the refugee health training being the immediate target group of the project will increase their professional skills, and they will be encouraged to work within the field of refugee health through local NGOs and public health services.

Performing the social activities we will concentrate on the age group of 10-16 years, as the Youth constitutes the majority of the Palestinian population, precisely among refugees. In the camps there is a lack of facilities and offers especially regarding Trauma management, educational centers, leisure time activities suiting this age group.
