giving heritage a new life
Since 2019, we renovated 3 buildings and participated in renovating 6 others.
Collective kitchen
Our food is prepared by a network of kitchens from the houses of Nablus’s old town. Each meal is the result of many hands and the know-how, traditions, and skills of many people.
The revenues from each meal benefit several families, housewives, and small businesses in the neighbouring context, collaborating on a permanent basis with Yalla Project.
cultural activities
Yalla is dedicated to revitalizing cultural life in Nablus’ Old Town.
To date, we have organized dozens of free and low-cost cultural events, including music concerts, traditional storytelling sessions, poetry readings, book launches, and cultural discussions.
Our recent activities have featured screenings of several internationally acclaimed films, each drawing large audiences. In addition, we have taken part in multiple radio and television broadcasts.
Students support
We support students, researchers, and learning activities all around. We offer two types of support: knowledge and logistics.
So far we provided guidance to numerous students and researchers, counseling, training, and sharing our archives.
Our spaces hosted lectures, university courses, professional workshops, camps, cultural tours, and offered a logistic base for numerous researchers and foreign academic institutions that operate in Palestine.
Charity
We promote a variety of charity initiatives.
So far, Yalla supported the refurbishing of 6 houses, fundraising for 3 social initiatives, food distribution for families in need, and providing shelter for travelers stuck during Israeli attacks.
