Early-on, Rebuilding Alliance learned that to build in war-torn communities one must partner locally with non-governmental organizations that hold the trust of the neighborhood and maintain the highest standards of fiscal and personal integrity.
We learned to create a Plan A, Plan B, Plan C and hope a Plan D is never needed.
We learned that village-centered rebuilding makes a big difference: trauma-recovery, jobs, recognition, good buzz.
The trust built in each of these projects lays the basis for the next. Please click to side-bar to read of our rebuilding projects underway in East Jerusalem, Gaza, the West Bank, and Israel.
