Nablus
The Nablus center serves as a hub for TYO satellite programs in the Northern West Bank.
The first TYO Center is located in the Zafer Masri Foundation Building in Nablus, which was built and endowed by Sabih Masri and is maintained by An Najah University.
The space includes 14 classrooms, offices, a conference room, dormitory accommodation for up to 20, and generous indoor and outdoor open spaces. The Center is located in the Khallet al Amood neighborhood of Nablus, which is not served by any other such organization. Residents have shown great hospitality and enthusiasm to collaborate with their new neighbors: TYO and its local and international staff.
One of the oldest cities in the world, Nablus is beautiful and of great historic importance. TYO, one of the few international organizations with a significant presence on the ground, is committed to bringing Nablus residents high quality programs and services that would not otherwise reach them. We welcome all community members and visitors to Nablus to come and tour the TYO Center.
The Nablus center serves as a hub for TYO satellite programs in the Northern West Bank, where the need is great and quality programs and investment are lacking. TYO currently works with the municipality of Salfit, a village 30 miles outside of Nablus, to provide extracurricular English classes and other programming to local children. In the summer of 2011, TYO began weekly ‘field days,’ taking activities on the road and out into the neighborhoods of the people served at the TYO Center for the past three and a half years. Throughout the summer, staff, interns, and volunteers travel to all the refugee camps of Nablus (as well as the Old City) to offer two hours of fun programming, every Monday, for all those children that might not be fortunate enough to attend TYO from week to week.
